Snapchat is the most popular messaging app among teens and it isn’t so without any reason. It’s a magical app that makes messages vanish after viewing them. You can send a photo, video or text on Snapchat and the message expires after a short time or after the recipient has viewed it. So far, so good. Now, lets get to the ugly truth. You can actually save the photos, videos and stories shared on Snapchat. We have already written about the various methods through which you can save snapchat snaps permanently without the sender’s knowledge.
For folks who don’t like complicated procedures there are various apps available both on iOS and Android that save the Snapchat pics, videos and stories. Listed below are the best apps to save/download the photos (snaps), videos and stories received on Snapchat.
Top 5 Best Apps To Save Snapchat Photos/Videos/Stories On iOS/Android
1. SnapBox: This is hands down the best iOS app to download Snapchat photos and videos. With SnapBox, all your Snapchat photos and videos are saved permanently forever. Whenever you receive a snap, open SnapBox and login with your Snapchat user id and password and all your snaps are saved.
Download: iOS
2. Snapchat Saver: Android is also a fairly important platform for Snapchat and a huge number of people use Snapchat’s Android app too. Snapchat Saver is the most popular Android app to save your received messages on Snapchat. Snapchat Saver lets you save both photo and video snaps. You can save photo stories and video stories as well. Please note that snaps should be saved prior to opening them on Snapchat.
Download: Android
3. SnapCrack: The SnapCrack app boasts of some great functionality. Apart from saving photos, videos and stories you can also send snaps from your photo album. There is also a paid version of the app available for $4.99.
Download: iOS
4. SaveMySnaps: SaveMySnaps is an Android app that lets you view your snaps as well as optionally download them. Just remember not to view the snaps on the Snapchat app before downloading them.
Download: Android
5. SnapSave: This Android app completely replaces your Snapchat app. You can view and save snaps as well as send snaps from SnapSave. (Update: The SnapSave Android app has been removed from the Google Play Store, but, is still available on the Apple App Store for iOS.)
6. Casper: The Casper app comes from the creator of the SaveMySnaps app. The Casper app is an alternative Snapchat client that does much more than all other apps on this list. The functionality includes the ability to save snaps (photo, videos and stories), forward snaps, apply filters to photos, slide filters, add stickers to photos etc. The Casper app is available only on Android and information regarding the download can be found here.
Download: Android
These are the best iOS and Android apps to save/download your Snapchat photos, videos and stories. Do you use any of these apps or are there other apps that are better than these? Do let us know through the comment form below.
Just thought I’d let you know #2 and #5 have been removed from Google Play. My app ‘SaveMySnaps’ is still available and currently sits at #1 on the Google Play store.
Your app isn’t very good. It take the picture then compresses it vertically. It should expand not compress.,
This has been fixed as of the 6.0 BETA which I hope to have to public BETA in the next few weeks. I have added more features such as a swipeable gallery and INSTANT notifications when you receive a new snap.
Liam there is any possibility to also read the messages policy sent me using your app or I will need the normal snapchat apk for ever too? thanks
Hey Ant,
At this stage, you will still need the original Snapchat app to access ‘chat’ messages. However I am working on getting ‘chats’ into SaveMySnaps.
It’s just not the easiest thing to do… Since they’ve made it so difficult to try and get into….
Cheers,

Hey Liam,
I am loving SaveMySnaps, for obvious reasons. But a recent Snapchat update prohibits users from using 3rd party apps to view snaps. If they decide to do so, their account will be locked. Any words on this?
Regards,
Jay
Hey,
Yeah… There’s a big thing about it in the forums… I haven’t been able to find a way around this yet…

Hey Liam is there an iOS version of Casper or can you make one ?
So? the app wont work if you already got it installed? Mine have been working perfect untill a few hours ago. Says “Already viewed in offical app” and the thing is that, i actually dont even have the original snapchat saved on my phone no longer. What can i do to fix this?
Thanks. And hopefully i’ll get fast answers! :)
It’s gone :(
No more save my snap….deleted
download it here http://bit.ly/savemysnaps
F*** YEAH DUDE TY, I FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING THAT WORKS
It’s a pity! Luckily, Android users can still download the apk from the site of Savemysnap. If you don’t feel safe about it, you can use some screen recording apps (from Google Play) instead. This article comes up with some and gives a detailed instruction. showmore.com/save-snapchat-videos.html
It’s not there anymore what happened to it?
I can not find your app ‘SaveMySnaps’ in the google play store.
You have to type in (on google search) save my snaps apk google removed it from the playstore
Loved your app…but unfortunately had to get a new phone and realized it to has been removed from the play store :(
Grab the new one, it’s called Casper. by the same guy. http://bit.ly/casperapp
Your app should reveal receiving/sent snap text and sent snap photos/videos
On snapkeep.tk you can save snaps and stories, directly in your computer !
You can also download the apk of those apps instead of using savemysnaps
hi i am trying to log onto my snapchat account but it won’t let me do could you help me with this thing.please.
the app I use for android works great. its called ” Save Upload or Repost Snaps !! ” is available for free in the app store IF YOUR LOOKING TO SAVE STORY SNAPS
None of the apps work anymore. Snapchat servers have changed there security and also all snapchat save apps have been removed from app stores. Unless theres a new one out there thats current and works with new snapchat please inform me.
Cheers.
My app, SaveMySnaps still works. Snapchat may still lock your account if you use it… Since it’s been taken down, you can still download it here: http://liamcottle.com/savemysnaps/
Is there a way to get all the pics and clips that are saved on the save my snaps app without logging in using your snapchat account info?
Since the new update it doesn’t get rid of all the scribbles and emojis from the snap, can you fix that?
It’s interesting to see how snapchats are being saved.
Are there any snap save apps that work?? I’ve previously been using SnapSave but I received a notification that my account would be blocked if I continue to use it… Because I’m on my last life so to speak, I don’t want to risk it using another one! Anyone got any advice??
Please tell me a way to save the snaps without my account getting locked in future?
use screen recorder by zd soft
SnapMod works without root, whereas keepsnap (Xposed module) works on rooted phones.
So, I’ve been hearing rumours of people’s Snapchat accounts being permanently locked because they were using third-party apps. Will SaveMySnaps be one of those apps that gets my account locked?
Hello,
I got the massage from snapchat that my account had been looked for using third party app but i a’m still able to use the official snapchat but not SaveMySnap anymore .. i changed the password and re-downloaded again but nothing changed. it says ur username was looked.. how can u help me with that?
Hello. i got a message from snapchat that i used third party applications and my snapchat account were locked. i changed password and my snapchat account worked again. I also use the app “quick save” that save snapchats. but after my snapchat account were locked and i unlocked it, i couldn’t log in with my snapchat acount on “quick save”. my questions is:
what is actually third party applications? what does snapchat mean with that?
and how do i do to log in on snap save again? :( please help me.
i cant even log onto snapsave or any other third party app anymore… how can i get around that?
You can’t snapchat has now banned third-party apps and their use. sorry.
Wow.. what an amazing post. I am very happy to be a part of it. This is very unique content for me and I found it very valuable. Keep posting. chat app Available on App Store
All third party apps are removed got any suggestions
none of these work for iPhone most don’t even let you log in.
Casper seems to work for me. Tested it between two accounts, and I don’t get notifications of saves unless I want them to. No idea if it bans me, as I just barely tried it today.
i am very happy
anyone know of any apps that are you are still able to download
All android ones gone
So in looking at the comments we have choices as parents. While I have no desire to “spy” on my sons they know what they say and receive could be detrimental to their health :-) so, we are all looking for the best solution so we all feel comfortable with them using snapchat and me being able to access what they are sending out and receiving. What would you suggest as the best / affordable app to do this? thank you.
I’m looking as well. Did you have any luck? 😩
Why iPhone has to be better then Android!!! Y’all folks need to create a SnapUp for android. Not just for iPhone only!!!
I restarted my android phone and your app doesn’t download as easy as it did the first time.
Is there an app that saves my edited snap videos before i send them? My snapchat only saves the nonedited version to my phone(lg G4) :/
My snap chat is not supported by my Google play,I need help for my snapchat to be supported please
Quero salvar videos do snapchat
how am I supposed to save nudes?
I have a tablet & a phone, and when I get nudes from the guy I’m f*****g, I take a picture of the snap screen with whatever device I’m not on logged onto snap with. Viola! I have about 100 nudes from my favorite f**k buddy – good thing, too, he rarely sends any anymore :(

I think you guys forgot one, if your jailbroken on any iOS device, and have cydia, you can download a package called “Phantom” it basically removes all the limitations snapchat has, and you don’t have to download any other app/version of snapchat other than the official one from the appstore :)
Hey nice article, but it needs to be updated as NONE of these work anymore after snapchat’s new update. I’ve posted an article which allows you to save screenshots without notifying, manually though. theticblog.com/2016/04/how-to-save-snapchats-without-them-knowing-2016.html
All these apps have been removed from the App Store
if all you want to do is save snap and stories i would use a screen recorder like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsupport.mvagent&hl=en
if you are rooted try a module from xposed called snaprefs

We know that every Snapchat stories, videos, and photos are automatically removed within twenty-four hours. And once that period has been passed, you won’t be able to access them again.
However, there is an easy trick to save any Snapchat story, video or photo within seconds. And to achieve that we are going to use Snapchat’s chat feature.
1. Open your friend’s Snapchat story.
2. While you are viewing the story, just swipe-up or tap on the “CHAT” text to open a chat window.
3. Write something relevant about that story and tap “Send”. The message will be sent to your friend.
4. Now, quickly head over to the Snapchat “Chat” section and tap on your friend’s name. That will open a chat window, and you should see the snap on which you just commented.
5. Tap and hold on that snap. You will see, “SAVED” message. And all the saved messages will be highlighted with a grey background.
6. NOTE: Once SAVED, you can tap and hold on any SAVED message to ‘UNSAVE’ it whenever you like to.
That is it! You just saved your friend’s snap without even letting them know. You can now access these saved snaps in chats whenever you want.
This is cool. But is it possible to save the picture or video FROM the chat TO your device so it can be shared on other apps? I know you can screenshot a picture but what about a video??
I would also like to know how to save a video that was sent in a chat from a friend to your camera roll. My uncle sent me a video of me and my mom when I was younger and he accidentally deleted it from his phone and thank God I saved it on the chat on Snapchat. But how can I get that video from the chat to my camera roll? And I’m a iPhone user.
Snapchat saver are now freely available in market
I used Casper on Android and I loved it, now I’m looking for the most similar for IOS, which one is the best for that?
I love list to download pics from snapchat and its working. Is there an app that saves my edited snap videos before I send them? My snapchat only saves the nonedited version to my phone(LG G4).
