Snapchat is a messaging app that allows users to send and receive messages as well as share photos and videos. The app has been around since 2011, and it has become one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. One of the features of Snapchat that many users love is the ability to save your messages. This way, you can easily keep track of what you have said and done in your messages without having to remember each individual message. To save your messages, you first need to open Snapchat and sign in. Then, under “Settings,” you will need to select “Message History.” Once this is set up, you will need to select “Save My Messages.” This will create a file called “snapchat_message_history.txt” in your Snapchat folder. Now that you have a file called “snapchat_message_history.txt,” you can start saving your messages! To save a message, simply type the message into the text field and hit enter. You can also choose to save the message as a GIF or JPEG. Once you have saved your message, you can view it by opening Snapchat and selecting it from the list of messages (if it is not already selected).
Snapchat is already a go-to social network for millennials and teens, and its reach is now growing. You can share your life in auto-disappearing photos, without the fear of one bad photo coming back to haunt you in a job interview a few years later.
But most of the time, the photos are less incriminating, and more mementos a fun night out. When that happens, you don’t want them vanishing into the ether. Sure, you can save them manually, but it’s easy to forget. The best thing to do is to set it up so your Snapchat Stories automatically get saved. That way you get the memories and no one else gets the dodgy photos. Here’s how to do it.
RELATED: What Is Snapchat?
Open Snapchat, and on the camera screen, swipe down.
Tap the gear icon and then select Memories.
Flip the Auto-save Stories switch. From the Save to… menu, you can select whether you want your Stories to save to your Memories or your Memories and your phone. I’d recommend Memories and Camera Roll.
And that’s it. Now all your Stories will automatically get saved so you don’t have to worry about good photos vanishing with the bad.
