So, if you’re curious to know more about the My Eyes Only section in Snapchat, this guide has all the answers you need. So, without wasting any more time, let’s learn more about My Eyes Only on Snapchat and how you can use it.
What Is My Eyes Only on Snapchat
My Eyes Only is a place that keeps all your private snaps. No one else (not even Snapchat) can view or access the photos or videos stored in the My Eyes Only section. Once you set up My Eyes Only on Snapchat, you can easily move snaps to and from it. So, the next time you share your phone with someone to share your memories, you don’t have to worry about them stumbling upon any of your private or explicit snaps.
How to Set Up My Eyes Only on Snapchat
Since the Snapchat app carries an identical user interface on both Android and iPhone, you can follow the steps below on any smartphone to configure My Eyes Only on Snapchat. Step 1: Open the Snapchat app and tap on the Memories icon at the bottom. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen to achieve the same. Step 2: Navigate to the My Eyes Only tab. Next, tap the Set Up button. Step 3: Set up your four-digit passcode by entering it twice. Alternatively, you can also protect My Eyes Only by a passphrase. Step 4: Here, you’ll see the entered passcode or passphrase. Mark the checkbox and hit Continue. After completing the setup, hit Finish. And that’s it. You can now use the My Eyes Only on Snapchat.
How to Use My Eyes Only on Snapchat
After completing the My Eyes Only setup, you can keep your photos and videos in it. Follow the steps below to move your favorite snaps in and out of the My Eyes Only section. Step 1: In the Snapchat app, tap on the Memories icon at the bottom to open Snapchat Memories. Step 2: Under Snaps, locate the photo or video you wish to move to My Eyes Only. Long press on the snap, and a few options will appear at the bottom. Tap on the Hide button to move your snap to My Eyes Only. Select Move when prompted. Similarly, you can also hide your snaps directly from Camera Roll by following the same steps mentioned above. In Snapchat, you can view the hidden snap by accessing the My Eyes Only section. If you wish to move a photo or video out of My Eyes Only, simply long-press on the snap and select Unhide from the toolbar. You can also delete or export a snap directly from there.
What Happens if You Forget My Eyes Only Passcode
Snapchat allows you to easily change your My Eyes Only passcode or paraphrase at any point. All you need to do is enter your existing passcode or passphrase. But what happens when you forget your My Eyes Only passcode or passphrase? As mentioned earlier, not even Snapchat has access to the Snaps once they’re moved to My Eyes Only. So, while you can reset your My Eyes Only passcode, all your snaps in the My Eyes Only section will be lost in the process, and not even Snapchat can do anything about it. With that out of the way, here’s how to reset your My Eyes Only passcode once you forget it. Step 1: In the Snapchat app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and navigate to the My Eyes Only tab. Step 2: When asked to enter a passcode, tap on Options in the bottom right corner. Then select Forgot Passcode. Step 3: Enter your Snapchat login password and hit Next. Step 4: Enter your new passcode twice and tap on Continue. Lastly, tap on Finish. That’s it. You’ll gain access to the My Eyes Only section. Sadly, all your snaps will be gone.
Only for You
Privacy has always been at the forefront of Snapchat’s agenda. My Eyes Only on Snapchat seems like a secure place for all your snaps. The fact that snaps in the My Eyes Only section are irreversibly gone once you forget the passcode can be a good or bad thing, depending on how you see it.
