Mon, 06 Oct 2025 Snapchat users share fury at upcoming fees for storing old photos and videos

Snap said only a small number of users would be affected by the changes, but many online disagree.

* Snapchat's new policy charges users a fee if they have more than 5GB of memories stored on the app.
* Many users are upset, calling it "corporate greed" and accusing the company of trying to make money off their personal memories.
* Users can download their memories for free, but some argue that this is not a practical solution for those with large collections.
* Critics have taken to social media to express their discontent, with one user calling it a "memory tax".
* The policy has been compared to other tech companies' storage plans, such as Apple and Google's iCloud and Google Drive services.
* Snapchat says only a small number of users will be affected by the change, but critics argue that the company is trying to profit from its users' emotional attachment to their memories.
