I attempted to go to the ‘my data’ section to export the photos and it won’t even load, it’s just a blank screen yet all the other pages work perfectly. I find that odd. They aren’t even letting people export their data so they have to pay.

Like yeah it sucks but realistically they don't wanna store hundreds of terabytes worth of photos. You can always use google photos but it has a limit for each acc

The only reason people still have Snapchat is because of the memories. They’re gonna lose a lot of people from this.

i’m so glad ive BEEN hating snapchat. i got banned a couple years ago and lost most of my memories and it was devastating. had so many pics n vids on there since 7th grade. i have it now for just group chats but it got me into the habit of just taking pics and vids on my phone. that’s never going away at least

Idk if this will work but I started sending my memories to myself on Snapchat so you still have access to them just in your saved in chat with yourself

Yeah same, it ruins snapchat. But yeah, I guess thats what I will end up doing too unless I find an easier way

Just saying. 1TB can hold about 2-5m snap photos depending on quality or about 250k short videos

If I'm not wrong and I may be, I think they do have to pay for holding all that data. That's prolly why they do it cuz realistically snap brings like not much 'money in. No one rlly uses it as much, maybe 5% of snap users actually bought snap + so it's prolly js a way to keep them afloat

sorry i could’ve phrased it better. meant it’s easy to save yourself for free on your computer. no individual could fill a 1Tb drive with their snapchat memories.

Ohhhh then yeah that's 1000% a better choice, even if someone doesn't have a pc you can always buy an external hard drive and connect it to a laptop and maybe even a phone if there's an adapter and js move it all to there
