Scroll through Saved Messages
Open Snapchat. The Snapchat app icon is a white ghost on a yellow background.
Swipe right to the “Chat” page. This page will show a list of all the people you have recently Snapped.
Open your conversation with the desired person. To open a conversation, tap the name of your friend.
Scroll up and view your saved messages. Saved messages will be highlighted in grey. To save a message, tap it and double-check that it becomes highlighted. The message will also be saved for the other person, so they will know you saved it. Messages can also be screenshotted, but they will still disappear from the chat, and the other person will receive a notification that you screenshotted the conversation. By default, unsaved messages disappear immediately after viewing, so be sure to save any message you want to see again later!

Scroll down and tap Submit Request. After tapping the yellow button at the bottom of the page, a new page will appear saying “We Received Your Request”.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgsKacmK8kY For detailed information on the data available in the Snapchat app and through download, read through the “My Data” page. If you do not see a yellow Submit Request button at the bottom of the page, make sure you have verified your email. You can do this by clicking Email in Settings, then entering your email address, opening your email account, and clicking Confirm Email in the email from Snapchat. You may have to re-enter your Snapchat password once more to confirm your identity.
Open your email. Once your data is ready, Snapchat will send you an email containing a link to download it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgsKacmK8kY
Choose the email with the subject “Your Snapchat data is ready for download”. The sender of the email will be “[email protected]”. It will likely take a few minutes for Snapchat to process your request. If you do not have an email within 20 minutes, consider submitting another request.
Press the link in the email to download your data. The link text will say “click here” in blue. You will likely have to log into your Snapchat account once again to verify your identity.
Tap the linked zip file to download it. The zip file can be downloaded from the linked text saying something like mydata~(list of numbers).zip. It is simpler to use a computer for this step, but you can also use your phone. For iPhone, tap the download icon on your address bar, then tap the zip file to open it in the Files app. Lastly, tap the zip file once more to unzip it into a folder containing your data. For Android, click the Tap to view button that appears after the file has downloaded, then tap the zip file in “Storage” to unzip the folder with your data.
Open the folder containing your data. As with the download link, the folder should be called something like mydata~(list of numbers).
Select the html folder. This folder contains HTML files for many different Snapchat datasets from your account.
Choose chat_history.html and look at your saved chats. You will see the name of your friend or group chat and the message content under “From”, either “TEXT” or “MEDIA” under “Media Type”, and the time and date the Snap was sent under “Created”. Be aware that message content will only be displayed for saved text messages, not saved media.
