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, @jgcatalano SnapMemories ~5 months ago as a way to relive past Snapchat stories.

@rrhoover @jgcatalano 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.

@rrhoover After taking a second look, here are my thoughts:
• It looks like you have to manually save to memories, rather than all snaps being saved by default — so I'm not as reluctant.
• It's basically a photo vault within the app. Let's hope it's secure since snaps are likely more sensitive than those in your camera roll.
• I'm not so sure about adding old snaps to stories; it departs from Snapchat's original mantra of living in the moment.
• Like others have said, this could push Snapchat even closer to becoming your primary camera/photo app; only time will tell.

@rrhoover @jgcatalano I'm looking forward to showing my parents my 'bikini butt' accidentally. 😏
