DUBAI: Snapchat has announced it will start charging users for saved posts and photos that exceed 5GB of storage. In a blog post, Snapchat said that it was introducing new “Memories storage plans” for users with more than 5GB of data. “For the vast majority of Snapchatters, who have less than 5GB of Memories, nothing will change,” the company said, adding that users with larger data needs could upgrade their storage to retain content in the feature introduced in 2016. The packages are offered for 100GB, 250GB with Snapchat+ or 5TB with Snapchat Platinum.

The social media giant announced that free access to the feature will be limited to 5GB.

It has not said how much the storage plans will cost UK users, only that they were part of a "gradual global rollout".
