- Enable Memories: Snapchat’s Memories feature allows users to save their snaps and stories to Snapchat’s servers, which can then be accessed and downloaded to their camera roll. To enable Memories, go to Settings > Memories > Save To and select “Memories & Camera Roll”.

- Respect privacy: If you do save a snap or story to your camera roll, be sure to respect the privacy of the sender. Don’t share or distribute the content without their permission.
- Backup regularly: If you rely on Memories to save your snaps and stories, be sure to backup your Memories regularly to avoid losing any important content in case of data loss or device failure.
