This change impacts users who have accumulated photos and videos beyond the free storage limit. Originally launched in 2016, Snapchat’s Memories feature provided free storage for user-generated content, which is typically designed to disappear after 24 hours. Now, users will need to subscribe to a paid plan once their 5GB limit is reached to maintain access to their saved Memories.

Snapchat stated that the platform did not anticipate the significant growth of the Memories feature when it was first launched. To accommodate the needs of its community and ensure users can continue storing their content, Snapchat is introducing new Memories Storage Plans. These plans offer storage options of 100GB or 250GB, accessible through the Snapchat+ monthly plan. A Platinum plan is also available, providing a substantial 5TB of storage.

The available storage plans and their pricing are as follows:

* 100GB storage plan: $1.99 per month (approximately Rs 165)
* Snapchat+ with 250GB storage: $3.99 per month (approximately Rs 330)

For users looking to manage their content without subscribing, Snapchat provides a temporary storage period of 12 months for those who exceed the free storage limit. During this period, users have the option to download their content or opt for a paid subscription. Here are the steps to save Memories content directly to a device:

1. Open the Snapchat app.
2. Go to ‘Memories’ by tapping the photo icon.
3. Press and hold the Snap or Snaps you wish to download.
4. Tap ‘Export’.
5. Choose the location where you want to save your Snap.
