Yesterday, Snapchat began rolling out a new feature to the app called Moments. It seemed like a simple enough concept — a gallery of your Snaps and Stories backed up to your Snapchat account — but people fear change, especially when it’s something they’re already so familiar with. It can be a bit… unsettling. Needless to say, there were a lot of questions and Snapchat’s initial blog post didn’t answer very many of them, something you wouldn’t be able to truly grasp until you actually played around with it.
With the update now rolling out to most users, we thought it’d be good to walk you through Memories, exploring all the steps on how it works, what it is, what it isn’t, and even some of the options available for it. Let’s get started.
Adding or “saving” Snaps/Stories to Memories works the same way as downloading to your device used to. Just take a Snap and before posting to your Story or sending directly to someone, tap on the download button. You can also slide up on the button to choose between Save to My Eyes Only and Save to Camera Roll & Memories.
Alternatively, you can save entire Stories to Memories by selecting the 3-dot menu (or long pressing your Story) and tapping on the large download button. This will save all the Snaps you’ve posted to your Story from throughout the day up until then.
By default, the download button will save Snaps in Memories, but there’s a setting to have it save to both Memories and Camera Roll (your device), or just Camera Roll (device) the old fashioned way. As we mentioned above, you can also access these options by swiping up on the save button.
