How to Export Memories On Snapchat
In the beginning, Snapchat did not store your memories, but that has since changed. Snapping a photo and adding it to a Snapchat story instantly adds the photo to your Snapchat Memories, as is the case by default. This feature makes use of cloud storage that is tied directly to your account in order to function.
Snapchat allows you to keep an infinite amount of snaps and stories, which you may access at any time. The downside is that if something happens to your Snapchat account, all of these memories will be lost. Fortunately, Snapchat allows you to export individual or all of your memories to your device’s camera roll, regardless of whether you’re using Android or iOS.
This article describes how to configure your Snapchat so that memories are automatically saved to your camera roll rather of being stored in the Snapchat cloud by default. Additionally, it will demonstrate how to export existing memories in order to preserve those priceless photographs and videos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I save someone else’s memories?
Snapchat does not have a built-in function that allows you to store someone else’s story. Some solutions do exist, but use them at your own risk. Snapchat’s terms of service are quite restrictive. In some cases, utilizing third-party apps may result in your account being suspended or terminated entirely. If you’re enjoying someone’s tale, you could notice a button to share it with your friends (depending on their privacy settings). You may send yourself a copy of the person’s snap narrative by selecting the “share” option from the menu. You may be able to save it or export it once you’ve finished. If you share someone’s Snapchat material, they will know about it.
Can I export my memories to a new Snapchat account?
If you’re moving to a new account but want to save your Snapchat memories, you’ll need to export them. The problem is that this will require a workaround. If you don’t already have it on your device, you’ll have to download it and then upload it again. However, if you want it to appear in your memories, you must place it in the ‘My Eyes Only’ folder. To delete the snap from the hidden folder, press the three vertical lines in the top right-hand corner and select the option to remove it. After that, it’ll pop up in your mind’s eye.
