If you are texting another person and screenshot the conversation, will they know that you screenshotted it?

I've heard this a few times but I don't know if it's true.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Thisis for the SnapChat app only. It has ntohing to do with the built-in Messages app.

When using SnapChat, the text message disappears after 10 seconds.

If you take a screenshot of the message before it disappears, SnapChat application will notify the sender you took a screenshot.


iOS 7 does not cancel Active touches (which is how SnapChat knows you took a screenshot).
