Some of the best images I've seen were shared via Snapchat, but once they're expired, they're gone forever, with no way to view them again unless I want to take a screenshot. But that will, of course, alert the sender.
Some of your friends might not mind if you take a screenshot of one of
their snaps. Others, however, could be disturbed that their temporary, fleeting
photo or video has become permanently saved on your phone.
Fortunately, there's a simple, non-root method on Android devices that
will allow you to save both pictures and videos shared through Snapchat without
notifying the sender. That way you can creep like a pro, and they can go on
using Snapchat without worry.
Warning:
As with any third-party Snapchat client, there is a risk of being
locked out of your account by Snapchat, or possibly even being banned, so make
sure you're okay with the risks before continuing to use Casper. More information
can be found on Snapchat's site.
Step 1: Install Casper
To begin, enable
"Unknown sources" on your Android device, then
installCasper from developer Liam Cottle (whom we've
featured before).
- Download Casper (choose the latest APK version)
Step
2: Sign into Your Account
In order to sign into Casper, you will need to use your
Snapchat credentials as well as a Google account for authentication. Note that
signing into a Snapchat client like Casper will automatically sign you out of
the official Snapchat app on your device.
As stated by
the developer, it's highly recommended to
create a fake Google account to prevent Snapchat from blocking your personal
account from the official Snapchat app on your device. For more information on
how logging in works in Casper, see its help
page. Also, you can check out the
developer's Reddit comment for details on how it uses Google
credentials to login.
Step
3: Save Other People's Snaps
Casper's interface is easy to get used to.
The first page has direct snaps, the next has stories, after that it's your
friends list, and then friend requests on the last page.
When you're saving a direct snap, whether
it's a picture or video, just open it and tap the download icon located towards
the top of the page.
To save an image or video from a story,
start by tapping a particular story to expand it and display each individual
picture and video. Then, just tap the one you want to open and save it by
tapping the download icon.
All the saved content can be viewed from
within your device's gallery app in the "Saved Snaps" album.
Use
Casper as a Snapchat Client
If you like Casper enough, you can disable
ads with an in-app purchase ($2.99) and replace the official Snapchat app with
it. Casper offers all of the tools Snapchat does as well as some additional
ones, like choosing between various emoji styles.
If you've been looking for a way to save some of your favorite snaps, then Casper is definitely worth the try.
