Overview

  • New Memories Storage Plans offer 100GB for $1.99 per month, with options scaling to a 5TB Platinum tier at $15.99.
  • Existing Snapchat+ subscribers are automatically upgraded to 250GB of Memories storage.
  • Users already above 5GB retain temporary storage for 12 months to choose a plan or download and reduce saved Snaps.
  • Snap says the majority of users are below the new cap, so routine use should not require payment.
  • The shift brings Snapchat in line with rivals that charge for cloud storage, following subscription pushes like Lens+.
