Snapchat is not deleting everyone’s Memories on a specific date; it will only start removing Memories for people who go over the new free storage limit and then don’t pay or export their content within the grace period.

What Snapchat Is Changing

  • Snapchat has introduced a 5GB free storage cap for Memories; anything you save there counts toward that limit.
  • Users who stay under 5GB keep using Memories as usual, with no automatic mass deletion announced for them.

When Snapchat Starts Deleting Memories

  • If your Memories are over 5GB and you don’t buy a storage plan, Snapchat gives you around 12 months of “temporary” or grace-period storage to sort things out (export or delete).
  • After that window, Snapchat can start deleting content to push you back under the free limit; reports indicate it is typically the more recent Memories that get removed first if no action is taken.

Who Actually Needs to Worry

  • Snapchat says the “vast majority” of users are below 5GB, so they may never see deletion warnings if they don’t hoard tons of Snaps in Memories.
  • Long‑time or heavy users with years of saved Snaps are most at risk and are already seeing in‑app notices about storage limits and subscriptions.

How To Protect Your Memories

  • Regularly export Memories to your phone or computer; guides from tech outlets walk through exporting all Memories so you can keep them for free.
  • Clean up by deleting duplicates, low‑value Snaps, or screenshots to reduce your total stored size and stay under the 5GB cap.

Bottom line: there’s no single global “Memories wipe day,” but if you’re over 5GB and ignore the warnings for about a year without paying or exporting, Snapchat may start deleting some of your saved Snaps.
