You can save Snaps and Stories from Snapchat to an album called Memories, where they are stored securely. With Snapchat’s “My Eyes Only” feature, you can also protect some of those moments even further with a password. You’ve come to the right place if you want to find out how to get My Eyes Only on Snapchat. An overview of some of its key features will be discussed in this article and how to set it up.
What Are My Eyes Only?
Snapchat introduces My Eyes Only in order to make sure your privacy is protected. Snaps and Stories can be password-protected if you want them to be private. You are the only one who can see them. The password you use for Snapchat will be in addition to your Snapchat login credentials.
Remember that you can reset your My Eyes Only password if you forget it, but any previously saved files will be lost. Snapchat does that to protect your most private files from intruders who may attempt to circumvent its security feature.
How to Set up ‘My Eyes Only’ on Snapchat
Tap the “Memories” button present to the left of the camera shutter button to launch Snapchat. You can access the “Memories” section by swiping up on the camera viewfinder. Select “My Eyes Only” from the Memories page when it appears.
The first time you use “My Eyes Only,” tap the blue “Set Up” button to configure the feature. You’ll need to set a 4-digit passcode. Alternatively, you can set a passphrase.
You should confirm your passcode, enable the radio button labeled “I understand that Snapchat will not be able to recover my passcode if I forget it,” and tap “Continue.”
The ‘My Eyes Only’ section of Snapchat has now been enabled. You’ll learn how to securely move your photo or video to this section to hide it in the next section.
