The company says Snapchat limits the storage limit of its memory feature announced last month. The feature has become extremely popular since its launch in 2016, and Snapchat will eventually require users who exceed the new 5GB limit to pay for additional storage.
Snapchat users who exceed the new limit do not have to pay immediately. You have a whole year to clarify your current tax situation. This gives older users time to remove unnecessary storage space or export it for free to avoid fees. The temporary storage year starts the first time you exceed the 5GB limit.
If you need additional storage, you’ll have to pay $2 per month for 100 GB if you exceed the limit. If you are already registered for $4 per month SnapchatPlus or $16 per month Snapchat Platinum The plans include 250GB and 5TB of storage, respectively. A Snapchat spokesperson said these prices are for the US and may vary by market.
