00:00If you have deleted photos from your Snapchat memories or lost saved snaps, you can attempt to recover them using
00:04built-in account data requests or by checking your device's local storage.
00:08Method 1. Request your data from Snapchat.
00:11If photos were deleted from your memories, you could request an archive of your account data.
00:15Snapchat sometimes retains data logs or cached archives temporarily on their servers.
00:20Open Snapchat and tap your profile icon in the top left corner. Tap the settings gear icon in the top
00:25right corner.
00:25Scroll down toward the bottom of the settings menu and tap My Data, usually located near the logout or privacy
00:32controls.
00:33Log in with your credentials if prompted, then look for options or toggles to include your memories, chat media, and
00:38share stories.
00:40Select a date range, covering when the photos existed, or choose an extended old time range. Confirm or enter your
00:46email address, then tap Submit.
00:49Wait for an email from Snapchat support containing a download link to a .zip file.
00:53Click download and extract the .zip file on a computer or via file manager app on your phone, then check
01:00the memories folder inside to see if your media files are present.
01:03Method 2. Check your device's local gallery or recently deleted.
01:08If you have settings enabled to automatically save your snaps to your phone's camera roll or memories gallery,
01:13iOS devices, open the Apple Photos app, go to albums, scroll down to recently deleted and check if the exported
01:19snaps are sitting there.
01:20Also check if a dedicated Snapchat album exists.
01:23Ooh, Android devices.
01:25Open your gallery or Google Photos app, check the device folders or albums list, and look specifically for a Snapchat
01:30folder or Buy Not Trash folder.
01:33Note, according to Snapchat support guidelines, once a memory is permanently deleted from their active servers,
01:38it cannot be recovered directly through customer support due to privacy protocols.
