If Snapchat wasn't already your go-to camera app, it will be now.
And your go-to photo album app eventually.
It'll be my go-to camera when iOS lets other camera apps be on the lock screen. Which I assume is why iOS doesn't let other camera apps be on the lock screen :-\
too bad it saves at a lower resolution than the built-in camera tho
also, no HDR
but then you can't share them with your Snapchat friendz! The inability to import photos/videos into Snapchat stories is part of its genius. cc
Unanimous reaction to Snapchat launching Memories:
Again, Snapchat is building upon existing user behavior and adding more utility to the platform. In many ways it's starting to look like most mobile messengers like Facebook Messenger or LINE, and that's a good thing, imo.
Funny, ~5 months ago as a way to relive past Snapchat stories.
Ok true, and yes it will be more addictive, but the whole idea of ephemerality was the reason people jumped on the platform. Skipping that core value, can also open the door for new platforms.
I'm looking forward to showing my parents my 'bikini butt' accidentally. 😏

And, here's the engine that powers the Snapchat backend
This is a bold move by Snapchat. I didn't think they would do it due to the cost of saving all of the content.
In a sense, that content is their only value. In fact, you can reduce most companies to robust databases with unique content. Google = URLs. Insta = pictures. Indeed = Job postings.
You come for the ephemeral app, you stay for the memories. Interesting direction.
Snapchat keeps getting better and better! It's incredible how powerful this app is and can be, "Memories" is a proof of how Snap has so much to grow ☺.

Almost definitely 😂
Huge split between people who love this new feature and those who worry it is the opposite of what Snapchat was when it started. Quite interesting to see other reactions of current users over the addition of the feature.
It's risky, Snapchat content is usually raw and so it's easy to share because users are not expected to keep level with pre-produced content. Now that publishers will be able to enhance their pictures and videos, the average joe could feel more embarrassed to share. I could be entirely wrong when the ease of sharing on Snapchat could be very well attributed to the fact that there's no score, such as likes, to compare oneself to others.
I totally agree, one of the reasons that I share more on Snap (compared to instagram/twitter/facebook) is because its 95-99% spur of the moment photos or videos which feel 10x easier to share with a close group of friends.
Great addition. The core ephemerality is still there. Now users won't have to download their snaps/stories, they can now save them in-app (keeping the entire experience within snapchat).
