GenZ's single of the favourite apps Snapchat has proclaimed that users would shortly feature to compensate for memories storage after a decade of offering unlimited access to manage and back up their content such as images and videos.
However, users can still save content for free within a 5GB limit. If the Memories exceed the limit, then the individual would have to either export them or sign up for one of Snapchat’s new Memories Storage plans in order to preserve them.
These new Memory Storage plans will be rolled out globally for a fee, similar to those offered by Google Cloud or iCloud.
How to save your memories for free?
There are two possible ways of saving your Snapchat memories on your devices, however, the process can be time consuming if you have thousands of saved photos and videos.
The first option is to download all your Snapchat memories directly to your camera roll. While this can be done directly from your phone, Snapchat only allows you to download up to 100 pictures/videos at a time. This means, you will need to repeat the process in batches of 100 until all your memories are safely stored on your device.

However, if you don't want to spend time downloading your memories in batches of 100, especially if you have a large amount of media stored, then there is another option where you can download your Snapchat data and have it emailed to yourself.

All about the Memories storage plans
The Memory Storage plans will include three storage options for the users: 100GB, 256GB and 5TB storage.
The 100GB storage is expected to be priced at $1.99 per month, which is roughly Rs. 165, whereas the 256GB is expected to cost around $3.99 or ₹330 per month. 5TB storage is likely to cost $15.99 or ₹1,400 per month.
As of now, the Snapchatters are given 12 months of temporary Memories storage that exceed the 5 GB cap, however after that, the data will likely be erased from the Memories tab if the users do not upgrade, according to a news report by Hindustan Times.
