Sometimes we end up deleting something that breaks our heart. And if it is your precious Snapchat memories, it hurts even more. Imagine if a candid photo from years ago, a glimpse of a trip, or a lovely moment that you wanted to watch over and over again got accidentally deleted? Snapchat has features that help you recover deleted Snapchat memories.
What Is Snapchat Memories
Snapchat Memories is a feature where your clicked snaps and stories are saved in the app itself. It is a cloud-based storage, that is, your photos and videos do not go directly to your phone’s gallery but are stored in Snapchat’s servers. Now if you accidentally delete or lose a photo, you can probably get it back with Snapchat’s data recovery option.
Easy Way to Get Memories Back
Step 1: Log in to Snapchat account
Go to https://accounts.snapchat.com in your phone or computer browser and log in.
Step 2: Click on the “My Data” option.
After logging in, go to the “My Data” section.
Step 3: Request data
Here you will find the option to download all your data from Snapchat. Scroll down and click on “Submit request”.
Step 4: Check email
Snapchat will send a link to your registered email that will contain all your data in zip format.
Step 5: Download file and view memories
Now download that file and look for memories_history.json or related files in it. From here you can get information about deleted memories.
Can Deleted Memories Always Be Recovered
Look friend, it’s not magic. If your memories were backed up in Snapchat’s cloud, then only you can get them back. But if you had turned off the “Memories Backup” option or the data is too old, then the chances of recovery may be less.
