Snapchat is implementing a new policy that will require users to pay for storing more than 5GB of content within its Memories feature. This change marks a shift from the platform’s original offering, which provided free storage for photos and videos shared for 24 hours. Users will now need to subscribe to continue accessing their saved content once they exceed the 5GB limit. Snapchat has introduced new “Memories Storage Plans,” offering 100GB or 250GB of storage. To access this, users need to subscribe through the Snapchat+ monthly plan. Meanwhile, there is also a Platinum plan, offering a massive 5TB of storage. Snapchat has stated the need to ensure the community can continue storing Memories over the long term prompted the introduction of the new plans. However, Snapchat provides 12 months of temporary storage to users who exceed the free storage limit allowing them to either download content or opt for a paid subscription.
Here are the steps to save Memories content directly to a device:
Step 1: Open the Snapchat app.
Step 2: Go to ‘Memories’.
Step 3: Press and hold the Snap or Snaps to download.
Step 4: Tap ‘Export’.
Step 5: Choose a save location.
