5GB is included. If you are over it, check your storage and make a complete backup.
Treat export and deletion as separate decisions. Finish and verify the backup first.
The problem
FixMyExport fixes the broken Snapchat export process. Available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, and Windows.
GPS coordinates exist in your export file but Snapchat never writes them into your photos. Map view stays empty in Google Photos, Apple Photos, and Samsung Gallery. FixMyExport embeds GPS into every file so your memories appear on the map.
Photos and videos with text, stickers, or filters export as two separate files. The overlay can appear as a black square. FixMyExport can merge supported overlays back onto their paired photos and videos.
Videos export as multiple 10-second or 60-second fragments instead of one complete recording. FixMyExport detects consecutive segments and stitches them back into a single video automatically.
Snapchat now includes dates for newer exports, but memories from before early 2026 still show today's date instead of when you took them. FixMyExport restores the correct date for every memory in your library.
Snapchat's current support page says it will not automatically delete Memories because you do not upgrade. Starting no earlier than January 2027, certain older Memories above the complimentary 5GB may be archived and remain stored, with advance in-app notice.
There is no single universal September 1, 2026 deletion deadline in Snapchat's current documentation. Affected accounts received 12 months of temporary excess storage, and each user should check the status and notices shown in their app.
Snap announced 12 months of temporary storage for Memories above 5GB, but the practical timing depends on rollout and the notices on your account. Current support says no Memories will be archived before January 2027.
Open Snapchat Settings, scroll to My App, tap Memories, and look under Cloud Storage. Accounts above 5GB may also see a usage notice in Memories.
Check the options in your app. You can choose an available storage plan or download your Memories. Current support says older excess Memories may later be archived, but they are not automatically deleted solely because you do not upgrade.
No. Up to 5GB is complimentary. Snapchat may offer a Memories-only plan, Snapchat+, Lens+, or Platinum for additional storage; availability and pricing vary, so check the app.
Yes. Snapchat explicitly says Memories can be downloaded. For a dependable backup, download every export part, process the raw files if needed, and verify the result before deleting anything.
