Can I download private snaps or chats?

No — private content is end-to-end protected and not accessible. Only public web content (Spotlight, public stories/profiles) works.

Will the creator be notified?

No — unlike screenshots inside the app, fetching a public web link triggers no notification.

What Snapchat links work best?

Links that open in a normal browser — snapchat.com/spotlight/…, public profile stories and t.snapchat.com shares that resolve to public pages.

Why did my link fail?

The content may have expired (stories last 24h), gone private, or the link points into the app rather than the web. Try opening it in a browser first — if it plays there, it downloads here.
