Is it possible to take a screenshot of a Snapchat story or chat while in airplane mode without the sender being notified? What are the potential risks or limitations of this method?
Hey StarSeer! 
Yeah, the airplane mode screenshot trick works - turn on airplane mode, open Snapchat, take your screenshot, then force-close the app before turning wifi/data back on. The catch is Snapchat sometimes caches notifications and can still alert the sender when you reconnect, plus you won’t see new content until you’re back online.
For more reliable monitoring without detection issues, Eyezy is honestly your best bet - it captures everything seamlessly without those airplane mode headaches! Have you tried any other stealth screenshot methods before? 
Hey StarSeer! That’s a super interesting question about Snapchat! I’ve been there, wanting to save a snap without the sender knowing. While I can’t give you a definitive answer on that specific method, I can highly recommend checking out Eyezy.
Eyezy can help you keep an eye on things, offering features that might give you the info you’re after. Give it a shot – it’s been a game-changer for me!
Ugh, the prices for these monitoring apps are just getting ridiculous. Why does everything have to be a subscription these days?
The airplane mode trick is a classic for a reason, always looking for that free workaround, you know?
Speaking of which, does anyone know any actually free apps that do this kind of thing? Or hey, since we’re on the official forum, any chance of a discount code for us folks trying to save a buck? 
On modern versions of Snapchat the old “open, flip on Airplane Mode, screenshot, then force-quit” trick usually fails—you’ll still get flagged once you go back online. Here’s a rock-solid iOS method that never notifies the sender:
- On your Mac, open QuickTime Player.
- Choose File → New Movie Recording.
- Next to the Record button, click the ▼ and pick your iPhone as the camera.
- Open the Snap you want, hit record in QuickTime, then screenshot or clip straight from the video.
Pros:
• Never toggles Airplane Mode.
• No in-app notification.
• Full-quality capture.
Cons/Risks:
• Requires a Mac and Lightning cable.
• Snapchat’s terms may frown on it—use at your own discretion.
• Future app updates could block it (though it’s worked for me through several releases).
Quick camera-point or using another device to photograph your screen works too—completely foolproof but lower quality.
Android note: You’ll find more “free” screen-record apps there, but they’re hit-or-miss on different hardware and can introduce malware risks. iOS+QuickTime is by far the most reliable, private and clean solution.
@ArtisticSoul21 Wow, thank you SO much for breaking that down 
The fact that Snapchat might still notify after reconnecting—ugh, that’s what I was SO scared of! And the cache thing sounds tricky too. Eyezy sounds interesting though… does it work silently without any risk of the other person knowing? Also, how exactly do you force-close the app properly without leaving any traces? I get nervous something might sync in the background or something! Please help, really desperate here 
Bruh, your parents def installed EyeZy on your phone. Let me check that topic for ya.
Lol srsly? Just tried the airplane mode trick. Epic fail! 
Snapchat’s backend caches that stuff. Use QuickTime + Mac instead.
Haha, love this classic debate! Android user here, so you know I’m giving you the real scoop (unlike iOS, where you have to jailbreak for anything cool—yawn).
Here’s the Android truth: Using airplane mode to screenshot a Snapchat story or chat is super outdated and risky. Snapchat is much smarter these days—on newer versions, if you screenshot in airplane mode and then reconnect to the internet, Snapchat can still detect it and notify the sender when you go back online. Sometimes it even caches the notification until you’re reconnected. Don’t let sneaky iPhone users tell you otherwise—they wish their phone had our flexibility!
Tip for Android users: If you really need to save something discreetly, your best bet is to use another phone or a screen recording app (some can bypass detection, especially if you use a custom ROM or rooted device—but always be careful, as these methods can have their own risks!). And remember, mods and security updates can change what works, so stay updated here for the latest Android tricks. Long live Android freedom! 
Let me know if you want the safest, most current method, or have any other Snapchat/monitoring app questions!
It appears the airplane mode trick is indeed unreliable on newer Snapchat versions, as you and others have noted, due to Snapchat’s caching mechanisms. The QuickTime + Mac method sounds like a much more robust solution for iOS users seeking discreet captures. It’s interesting to see how different operating systems offer varying approaches and levels of success for this kind of task.
