Backing Up

Snaps taken with Spectacles import to Memories in Snapchat, and are sorted into Day Stories based on when they were taken. Once in Memories, Snaps can begin to back up to Snapchat once your phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

If you happen to be out of range from a Wi-Fi network, you can enable Smart Backup. Smart Backup lets Memories back up using your cellular data under certain conditions. Learn more about Memories Settings.

By default, Spectacles won’t clear a Snap from its storage until that Snap is imported and backed up to Memories.

If your Spectacles are running low on storage space, try importing all your available Snaps to Memories. To do this: open Snapchat, swipe up to Memories, and tap on the 🔁 button to start importing.

While Memories are backing up, be sure not to log out of Snapchat, log in through another device, or uninstall Snapchat. Doing so could cause you to lose any Snaps you haven’t backed up yet!

Deleting Snaps or Stories from Memories will remove them completely. Be careful what you delete, since there’s no way to recover Snaps once they’ve been deleted.
