In one of the most recent updates of the iOS software iPhone users were granted the ability to record their screen live. This feature has given rise to a number of great applications including Capture which allows users to record videos of their screen and save them to their camera roll with the click of a button in the control center. The ability to record your screen raises a question amongst Snapchat users… “can I tell if someone screen records my snaps on Snapchat?”
Will I Get a Notification if Someone Screen Records My Snaps on Snapchat?
Snapchat has always provided users with a notification whenever the recipient of a snap or the viewer of a Snapchat story screenshots the snap. Typically the notification is displayed where the “snap opened” message is displayed; instead of “open” the message will read “Screenshot!” With the new ability to record your screen, users are wondering if you will still receive a notification if your snap is recorded using Capture or a similar application.
Luckily you will receive a notification if someone uses a screen recording application to record your snap. You will get the same message you normally get when someone screenshots the snap. This is good news for those who do not want their snaps to be saved but bad news for those who wish to save snaps without the sender knowing. So in summary you will get a notification if someone uses a screen recording to open your snaps and save them.
Can You Tell If Someone Uses a Screen Recording to Record Your Snapchat Story?
So above we discovered that you will receive a notification if someone uses a screen recording app to record the snaps that you sent them. Will you also get a notification if someone uses a screen recording app to record your snapchat story? The answer to this question is yes. Just like if someone records the screen while opening a snap, if someone tries to record your Snapchat story using a screen recording app, you will be notified. The notification will look exactly the same as if someone took a screenshot of your story.
Again this is good news for those who do not want people recording their snapchat story but those who wish to record people’s Snapchat stories without them knowing will have to think of another way.
Comment below if you are glad that you get a notification if someone uses a screen recording to record and save your snaps.
