Ah, Snapchat stories – those ephemeral glimpses into our friends’ and loved ones’ lives that seem to disappear into the ether just as quickly as they arrived.

It can be frustrating to watch a story you really enjoyed vanish into thin air, never to be seen again. But fear not! There is actually a way to save those Snapchat stories, and in this blog post, we’ll delve into the nitty-gritty of exactly how to do it.

Method 1: Screen Record the Snapchat Story Video

Screen recording is a feature that allows you to capture a video of your phone’s screen as it’s being used. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, such as creating tutorials or demonstrating app functionality. On iOS devices, screen recording is built into the operating system and can be accessed from the Control Center.

Now that we have a basic understanding of screen recording, let’s move on to the specific steps for saving a Snapchat story using this method.

One Snapchat story saver is SnapBox. It has a clean user interface and is effective for saving stories on Snapchat.

By simply clicking the download icon, you can save any picture or story from its user-friendly interface. However, because it is not allowed by Snapchat, you must sign out of it before using the app.

SnapBox allows you to save them directly to your device.

How to Save Snapchat Stories After 24 Hours

Can you really save a Snapchat story after 24 hours?

If a Snapchat story has already expired, it will no longer be visible in the app, so it is not possible to access it before attempting to save it using a screen recording app or a third-party app or website.

To save a Snapchat story using a screen recording app, you will need to open the app and start the screen recording before accessing the story in the Snapchat app.
