Snapchat has introduced storage limits to its Memories feature after offering unlimited free archiving since 2016. Users can store up to 5 gigabytes without charge, but additional space requires a paid subscription. The company offers 100 gigabytes for $1.99 monthly or 250 gigabytes through Snapchat Plus at $3.99 per month.

The platform states the changes will fund improvements to Memories for all users. Creators with extensive archives have criticized the decision as unexpected, and many face new costs for content they accumulated over several years. Snapchat acknowledges that the transition from free to paid service creates difficulties for users.

Members who surpass the storage cap receive 12 months of temporary space to download files or purchase a subscription. The company maintains that most users will remain unaffected by the policy. Content creators who depend on archiving may experience significant disruption from the new requirements.

More than one trillion Memories have been saved on the platform. The shift reflects a wider movement among social media companies to monetize features previously provided at no cost.
