Snapchat is introducing a new feature, called Memories, that will change the way you experience the app.
Memories lets you save snaps and Stories inside Snapchat, edit them, and send them out again.
You can still save snaps and Stories to your camera roll, but the tools inside Memories will give you a chance to edit your old stuff and push it out again. You’ll even be able to combine that stuff with photos and videos from your camera roll. (Think of the #TBT options!) This update will make Snapchat feel a little less raw and in-the-moment, and a little more polished and, err, stale. That’s a big deal, and we’ll get into it later. But first, here’s a rundown of how to use Memories:
To save a snap to Memories, you can click the save button on the camera screen (or set your snaps to auto-save in settings).
A swipe up on the camera screen brings you into the Memories module, where you see all your saved snaps and Stories.
Within Memories, you can edit your saved snaps and Stories and turn them into new snaps and Stories.
Piece together these snaps and you can create a new story from them.
You can change the geofilters from the day you first posted this Snap, or add new text like #TBT.
Another key change: Inside Memories, you can import photos and videos from your camera roll, and post them to your Story for the first time ever.
You could already send stuff from your camera roll in private snaps. But this is new.
Here’s a GIF of someone adding snap from Memories to their Story.
Oh, by the way, there’s also a new feature that lets you save password-protected snaps, called My Eyes Only.
Snapchat designed Memories for scenarios where you’d pass your phone around in real life to share your photos with someone. With My Eyes Only, you can hand over your phone without fear that your friends will see your embarrassing selfies. Or your nudes.
