This wikiHow will teach you how to save a Snapchat Story so you have a copy of it after it disappears. Luckily Snapchat makes it super easy to save your stories. You'll just need to choose where you want to save them to (your Snapchat Memories or Camera Roll) and then save your stories through the app. The steps below will walk you through how to do it, plus we'll show you how to save your friends' stories on Snapchat.
Steps
Part 1 Part 1 of 3:
Choosing a Default Save Location
1 Open Snapchat. It’s a yellow app with the outline of a ghost. This will bring you to a camera view.
If you’re not logged in, you’ll be prompted to do so.

4 Screenshot the story. On an iPhone or iPad, hold down the sleep/wake button on the side or top of the device, and press and release the home button. The screenshot will be saved to your device's camera roll.
If a story consists of still photos, you’ll be able to save each photo in the story. Videos and animations will not fully save as a photo.
Snapchat sends users notifications when someone takes a screenshot of their snap, so your friend will know if you save their story.
