Snapchat Introduces New Feature to Remind You That It Actually Saves Everything

For instance, when you take a snap, you will see an option to save your snap to Memories (it’s like a camera roll or collection), where you can organise, edit, search, lock, and share snaps after they’re taken. Memories will also allow users to send Snaps in their archive to friends, as well as post them to their Stories.

If there is content that is not suitable for all eyes, users will also be able to move Snaps and Stories to a section called My Eyes Only, which is pretty self-explanatory. To access Memories, users just need to swipe up from the camera screen. Normally, the photo and video messages disappear after they’re viewed.

“You can use Memories to create new Stories from Snaps you’ve taken, or even combine different Stories into a longer narrative”, the company said. Sure, you can save your most fire selfies, and yes, people do take screenshots on occasion, but it’s the only social network that doesn’t reward you for leaving a trace.

Snapchat announced its latest update, Memories, and it is a game changer. Users can also select their more private Snaps from the Memories panel and label them as “My Eyes Only”, preventing those Snaps from appearing in stories and potentially causing some embarrassing moments.

Snapchat has a new way to save Snaps and Stories, called Memories. Snapchat is taking a slow approach to rolling it out, given the high volume of photos and videos that it is about to ingest: it could take up to 30 days for you to receive the update, the company says.

“Spontaneity is what made the app so fun to use”. Growth was almost the same in the 35 and up group, going from 2 percent to 14 percent, a 600 percent increase.

Snapchat is trying to make itself more appealing to older users who are accustomed to more traditional methods of sharing and communicating online.
