People don't find every other app secure enough to use. Many privacy concerns keep bothering the user of a certain application. Keeping this insecurity in mind, the developers and creators of Snapchat proposed the best privacy policy ever! While using Snapchat, you don't have to worry about the other person saving your chat or even taking a screenshot of it, because if they even try to do it, you will be notified about it. Even the snaps that you send to another user cannot be saved without your acknowledgment.
Not just the chats and snaps sent in the personal conversation, but your stories are also safe with Snapchat. No one can take a screenshot of it without you becoming aware of this act. However, there may be other hacks and tricks to do so, but Snapchat has tried its best to keep up with one's privacy on its level.
