What is snapchat playing at with this new memories thing? When I click save I want it to go to my camera roll not my “memories”

Well, actually it is optional feature, you can change it, here’s how to do it
How to change your Snapchat Settings & save snaps to camera roll, not Memories
- Launch your Snapchat app, tap on the ghost icon, and go to Settings
- Tap on Memories
- On the Saving section, tap on Save to…
- Select Camera Roll Only, this will save your Snap or Story to camera roll, it will not save to Memories
That’s it, but to be fair, you can select Memories & Camera Roll, when you save a Snap, it will save to both Memories and camera roll. So Snapchat don’t have to take down this feature because not everyone dislike Snapchat Memories, this settings makes everyone happy.
Spread the words, there is a way to save your Snaps to camera roll, not Memories.
What about the snaps that are already saved to memories, any way to download those?
Yes, go into memories, in the top right corner there is a circles check mark, tap that. Then select any individual snap, snap video, or story. (You can select multiple) then tap the upload icon in the bottom left corner, this will bring up your option to save it to your phone. This is on iPhone 6s
thanks Jeff
thanks for help, now, do you know in s6 edge???
Any ideas for android???
What about on Android? All I see is trash, share, send to story, and send to a user
Jeff, you’re a life saver.
jeff what about for androids ? how to import my saved snaps to my camera roll ?
For Android phones. Just go to memories, tap on the photo or video you want to save to camera roll. Swipe up to edit then tap the dropdown menu on the top right corner, and there you’ll see the “Save to camera roll” option.
same. you will find the memories icon (little circle underneath the “capture” button), click it, select pictures then you will find the “share” button on the bottom left. I shared mine to google photos.
How can I download already saved memories to camera roll on android?
i think there is still no way to it, you can screenshot the picture
You can by selecting each picture, one at a time, and touching the menu bar on the upper right corner, then save to camera roll. I’ll be doing this for the 110 of my photos now……
I forgot to mention that after you select your one picture, you must long press on it for the menu bar to appear.
A bit tedious, but go into memories (swipe up from camera), tap on the snap you want to save (I’ve only been able to do one at a time), tap on the image and tap on ‘edit and send’ at the bottom. Then, tap on the three horizontal lined icon on the top right, and select ‘save to camera roll’. 🙂 Hope this helps!!
thanks Kurorin!

What about snaps your friends send to you in chat?
If you want to move memories click on the pic swipe up to edit and top left of screen a dropdown menu, Move to camera roll.
Gary, yep this is it! thx for posting 🙂 after many failed attempts, i finally got it to save to my android using your method. Bravo!!

Is it the same amount of storage space when saving to memories or photo album? And if you save to both, is it 2x the space?
yes, i think it is not resized when you save it to the memories
What if you want to select them all Jeff
If i save a snap to camera roll would it be shared and can anyone see it or iys only saved to gallery?please help iam freaking out plz
if you save it to camera roll, no one will see it, just don’t push the publish button

update your Snapchat app to the latest version
For ANDROID users, to save from MEMORIES to Camera Roll: Open a snap in Memories, swipe up to ‘Edit and Send’, tap on the drop down menu on top left corner, then ‘save to Camera Roll’.
Note – This can only be done individually, one snap at a time.

When I try saving several pictures to my camera roll, only some of the ones I have selected get saved. Do you know why? I have the iPhone 6
I cant save my videos to camera roll ..
I choosed camera roll from setting ..
but it says “save failed 🙁 ”
help ..
make sure there are enough space on your phone’s memory
I have the same problem. Trying to save a video from memories and it reports “save failed” I have 20 gb free on my phone so that’s not an issue.
Did you try opening the video from memories, and then holding down on the screen, a menu pops up on the right that allows you to save to your camera roll. Hope this helps, I have a Note 4.
For Android phones. Just go to memories, tap on the photo or video you want to save to camera roll. Swipe up to edit then tap the dropdown menu on the top right corner, and there you’ll see the “Save to camera roll” option.
Great thanks!! Also I have a Galaxy S6 Active and everything is laid out the same, and your directions were perfect!
I’ve found a way to save memories on your camera roll on android:
Click and hold on the picture you want to save and when you let go there should be a black border around it. At the top it should say ‘My Snap’. There will be three lines on the top right, click on it and it will allow you to save it on the camera roll.
I can’t open my memorys like when I slid my thing up nothing happens in my settings I don’t have a thing that says memory’s
What about when you back them up. Where do they go. I backed up mine and so did my gf on her iphone 6 and we cant find or figure out how to view them again?
HI, I just got back from holiday an all the pictures that I saved to my snapchat memory is gone. Have tried everything from clearing cache to signing in and out. Surely there’s a way to retrieve the photos? Please help x
ow do i save all at once and quickly not have to wait ages
How can my snaps be saved to my memories even if I don’t press save automatically, please help
change the settings to save your snap to camera roll
my story saved onto the “memories” wont download to my camera roll ): it loads a little bit then stays there and does nothing. i logged in and out still nothing. idk what to do… i have iphone 6s
go to memories click on the circle with the tick in the right hand corner select the photos you want to move once that’s done click on the circle with the + and it turns it into a story once that’s done hold it down click export and save as individual photos to your camera roll, it might take a while depending on how many photos you want to move. that’s for android 🙂
thanks for the input 😀
