Our lives are long, and yet moments are fleeting. The entire premise of Snapchat is built on fleeting memories, blatantly rejecting the norms of conventional social media behavior and deleting almost all records of your interactions. Almost being the key word, because thankfully there are still a few things you can salvage if you take action in time.

Of course, this brings us to the big question: where do saved Snapchats go? Well, depending on the source of the snap, you can see the saved snaps in different locations. Let’s take a look at the scenarios where you can save the snaps and then figure out where the chats go.

There are bound to be some fun photos or gossip moments that you find worth capturing in your chat with friends. Snapchat is still a place where great content is created, so it makes sense that you’d want to capture some of it for reasons ranging from shareability to good reason.

This is a fairly simple process. First, take a screenshot of the snap. Since the chat is personal and also for privacy purposes, the other party will also be notified when you take a screenshot.
