How to save and screenshot Snapchat on Android

Snapchat is currently one of the hottest messaging apps and a hugely popular photo and video sharing service that allows users to send pictures and videos to friends and family that expire after a maximum of 10 seconds. The whole point behind Snapchat is that anything sent between users is not considered permanent, unless of course the recipient decides to take a screenshot of that Snapchat. But when someone takes a screenshot of a snap, the sender is notified alongside the number of screenshots taken. If you take a screenshot like you normally do on your device by pressing the “Power” + “Volume down/Home” buttons, the sender gets a notification that you have took a screenshot of his /her Snap. This is built-in system that you can’t do anything about it. Right now Snapchat doesn’t support saving received messages (photos and videos), however there exists many possible ways to screenshot Snapchat.
