- Snapchat is adding a 5 GB storage limit to its Memories feature.
- Users who exceed this limit will need to get a new $1.99 plan for 100 GB storage.
- Additionally, Snapchat+ members get 250 GB storage and Snapchat Platinum subscribers get 5 TB storage for Memories.
After years of letting users store special Memories for free, Snapchat is introducing a 5 GB limit for its free users. Saved Memories past this limit will be deleted, unless you buy additional storage plans.
Snapchat Introduces Storage Plans for Its Memories Feature
Snapchat is adding another revenue stream with its new storage limit. Users will get 5 GB of free storage for Memories. If you need more space, then the app has introduced a new 100 GB storage plan for $1.99 per month . Snapchat Plus members get 250 GB of storage, and Snapchat Platinum users will have access to 5 TB of space.
In its blog post , Snapchat mentions, “Since we launched Memories in 2016, Snapchatters have saved more than 1 trillion Memories .” The company further added, “It’s never easy to transition from receiving a service for free to paying for it, but we hope the value we provide with Memories is worth the cost.”
It’s likely that the growing cost of storing Memories is adding up for Snapchat. And they want to ease the burden with these new plans. But I can’t help but see that after the new Snapchat Lens+ subscription , this is another way Snapchat is trying to monetize more of its services.
