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.
Snaps and Stories you’ve saved to Memories can be re-posted your Story or sent individually to friends whenever you like. For Snaps, just long press on the Snap to pull up the My Snap screen. From there, you can edit the Snap with the usual filters, emoji, and text options, then send it to your Story or individual friends.
Whether you compiled a new Story, or you just wanted to re-post an old one, long press on the Story in Memories and select Send Story in the upper right corner to send directly to a friend, or post to publicly to your Story.
