What is Snapchat My Eyes Only and How to Use It

Jun. 20, 2024

Snapchat is a platform where you share the moments of your life, no matter how big or small with your buddies on the app. But some things you like to keep to yourself. For those memories, there is the “My Eyes Only” feature. In this read, we’ll show you how to set up the My Eyes Only feature, and how to your Snaps and Memories to it.

What is “My Eyes Only” on Snapchat?

My Eyes Only mode is a hidden folder on Snapchat that is password protected. You can add your previously shared Snaps, Stories, and saved Memories to this folder so only you can revisit them later. Since this is apassword-protected folder, you can only access it through the passcode you’ve set up adding an extra layer of security.

It is part of the Memories feature in Snapchat that you can access by swiping up from the camera view page on the app.

The My Eyes Only folder is available through the camera page on Snapchat. Here is how you can set it up.

Note:

Now that you have set up the My Eyes Only folder, let’s move forward with the next step which is to add your Snaps, videos, photos, and other content. Here is how you can do it.

Once moved, the Snap will be removed and can be viewed from My Eyes Only. Now that you have added the content, you can access it anytime from said folder using your passcode.

Content saved in My Eyes Only is protected by an extra layer of security. So if you forget the passcode for it, you will have no way to recover it. Even choosing the forgot passcode option won’t help you recover it. If you still wish to reset your My Eyes Only password then follow these steps.

Now you can set a new passcode and continue using the feature.

This is how you can use the My Eyes Only folder on Snapchat. While this feature itself is quite useful, I wish that there was a way to retrieve content as we often forget passwords and I wouldn’t want others to lose out on their treasured memories because of it.
