Snapchat Memories is a way for you to save your Snaps or Stories on Snapchat in the cloud for later viewing and sharing.
You can find old Snaps by searching keywords like “summer missions” or “Christmas party,” and Snapchat will pull it up for you. Thanks Snapchat!
You can also send those Snaps to your friends, re-upload old Snaps and mix and match those to share a new piece of content.
When you share a Snap from your Memories people will know. If you share a Snap that was taken more than a day prior it will appear with a thick, white border as well as a timestamp showing when it was taken. This will tell your audience that you’re sharing from Memories.
Private Memories can be marked with “My Eyes Only”. If you took photos of a mission in a sensitive area to just send to a small group and don’t want those going out to everyone you’re covered. You can move Snaps into a “My Eyes Only” category for private viewing.
Snapchat won’t back up photos or videos from your camera roll. Snapchat Memories only saves Snaps and Stories from Snapchat. It won’t back up any of your other media unless you’ve uploaded it from the Snapchat Story.
