Well, hold on to your Snap Spectacles, folks! Snapchat just announced that it’s going to start charging users to store those precious Memories. Yes, your favorite ephemeral platform is now ready to scoop up even more of your dough—if you’ve gone a bit overboard with those snaps of your dinner.
For those of you clinging to a digital hoard that exceeds 5GB, it’ll cost you a neat $1.99 per month to keep up to 100GB of your photo and video Karens—er, I mean Memories. This means that all your cringeworthy filters and questionable choice of background music are about to go into the vault (or go away forever if you refuse to pay up!).
And if you’re living that Snapchat lifestyle like it’s 2016 and you need more room to save all those glorious selfies, there’s always Snapchat Plus for 250GB or even the Platinum plan, which offers a whopping 5TB. Who even needs that much space, though? Are you archiving every pizza you’ve ever ordered?
Snapchat claims that the “vast majority” of users still fit under that 5GB limit, so they might want to rethink their snap-happy ways. But let’s be real—if you’ve got 10 different angles of your avocado toast, you might need to consider a digital declutter!
So, what’s next? Will we be charged for every Snapsicle we want to create? We can only wait and see. This move definitely adds an interesting twist to the world of social media, making us wonder: are memories worth the price tag? You might want to reflect on that as you decide if those saggy selfies deserve the storage fee.
What do you think? Is paying for Memories a flat-out rip-off or a smart move in today’s digital storage wars? 🤔
