Snapchat Users Threaten Boycott Over New Memory Charges

London, UK - A recent viral video posted by TikTok user "lovehatelover🪽" has intensified the ongoing debate and widespread user backlash against Snapchat's alleged plans to introduce charges for its "Memories" feature. The video, uploaded on October 1, 2025, captures the user's frustration as she actively downloads her personal archives, stating, "watching everyone crashing out over snapchat charging for memories while mine are downloading and I'm deleting the app straight after I get them all." This candid reaction highlights a growing sentiment of betrayal among long-time users who have relied on the free storage of their digital keepsakes. The comments section of the video reflects a collective outcry. One user emphatically declared, "lets boycott it until they get rid of this update," while another expressed profound anger, remarking, "theyre so fucking greedy." Many users voiced practical concerns about data preservation, with questions such as "How do I convert the memories in to my cameraroll?" and "How do u download Them all?" dominating the discussion. The overwhelming sentiment suggests that a significant portion of Snapchat's user base is unwilling to accept these proposed changes, with some threatening to abandon the platform entirely. "Everyone go to the App Store and rate it 1 star and threaten to leave the platform entirely if they go through with this," urged a commenter, illustrating the organized effort to resist what is widely perceived as corporate overreach and "greed." This incident underscores the delicate balance social media platforms must maintain between monetization and user satisfaction.
