Snapchat Starts Charging for Memories Storage
Snapchat is now charging users for extra space in Memories, which stores photos and videos.
If you have over 5GB saved, you'll need to pay.
The base price is about $2 per month.
This means you might have to pay to keep your old snaps.
If you don't pay, you will lose your older content after a 12-month grace period, giving people time to export their photos and videos.
Snapchat offers two main ways to export: by selecting up to 100 snaps, or by downloading all your data.
Snapchat is implementing fees for Memories storage above 5GB.
The change affects users with large archives.
Users get a 12-month grace period.
Paid storage options start at $1.99 per month.
Users can export data to avoid fees.
