One of Snapchat’s defining features is how shared photos and messages disappear after they’re viewed. You can always screenshot a good one, but the sender will be able to see what you’ve done.
But if you’re looking to secretly save Snapchat gems for posterity, then here is a list of the top five apps on iOS and Android
The apps let you log in with your Snapchat username and use the service in exactly the same way — except for the disappearing part. All you do is download the free app.
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.
Platform: 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.
Platform: 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.
Platform: Android
5. SnapSave: This Android app completely replaces your Snapchat app. You can view and save snaps as well as send snaps from SnapSave. The app works fine, but a recent update has brought some bad rep to the app.
Platform: Android
