How Can I Automatically Save Snapchat Stories On My Smartphone?

All your Snapchat Stories can be manually saved. They can be downloaded via the application itself or by just capturing a normal screenshot after posting them.

But this can be easily forgotten, and it is definitely more comfortable if your Stories are downloaded instantly after posting them. Fortunately, Snapchat recently added a feature that lets users make this happen.

This is how your Snapchat can be used to automatically save your Stories:

  1. Launch your Snapchat application.
  2. Scroll down on the camera screen.
  3. Click the Gear icon.
  4. Choose Memories from the displayed option menu – seen below Notifications.
  5. Ensure “Auto-Save Stories” is toggled on.

If you intend to save your Snapchat Stories to your mobile device, you are not done yet – you also have to click “Save to” which can be found under the “Saving.” tab.

Right there, choose where you need your Snapchat Stories to be automatically saved. You can choose Memories, Camera Roll or the two of them.

Snapchat Memories lets users store their photos and clips for later. This mainly functions like Instagram’s Story Archive, which means you can see old Snaps anytime you like from the app. Those Snaps can also be sent or you can download them from Memories.

Choosing Memories & Camera Roll is a wise decision because it will keep your Snaps in the application and on your device, plus you can see or send them when you want to.

But if you intend to store your Story Snaps on just your mobile device, choose “Camera Roll Only.” Be prepared for it to take a bit of space on your phone though.
