Snapchat’s end-of-year Recap is back for 2025, turning your saved Memories into a short highlight video. If you’re seeing people talk about it but can’t find yours yet, this guide walks you through where to look, what’s included, and the most common fixes.
What is Snapchat Recap 2025?
Snapchat Recap 2025 is a personalized “Story-style” video built from Snaps you saved to Memories across the year. It pulls together moments from your Snaps, Stories, and chats to create a quick look back at how you connected with friends in 2025.
If you’re someone who uses Snapchat as a daily camera roll—saving selfies, trips, celebrations, small life updates, or inside jokes—your Recap is essentially Snapchat’s curated “best of” reel of those saved moments.
How to get your Snapchat Recap 2025
To find your Recap, open Snapchat and head to Memories. Snapchat is surfacing it as a dedicated card, typically labeled something like “Your 2025 Snap Recap”.
Quick steps
- Open the Snapchat app.
- Go to Memories (usually by swiping up from the camera screen).
- Look for the “Your 2025 Snap Recap” card and tap it to play.
Tip: If you don’t see it immediately, check that Snapchat is updated to the latest version, then reopen the app. Recaps can roll out in waves, so availability may vary by account.
What your Recap can include (and what it won’t)
Recaps are designed to spotlight the places you went, things you did, and people you spent time with—based on what you saved to Memories. That means the quality of your Recap often depends on how consistently you saved Snaps throughout the year.
There are also a few important limitations to know:
- Not everyone gets a Recap. Snapchat says Recaps depend on factors like how many Memories you saved during the year.
- Recaps are available for a limited time. If you want to keep yours, save it when you see it.
- “My Eyes Only” content isn’t included. Snaps saved to the private “My Eyes Only” area won’t appear in Recaps.
- If you dismiss/hide it, it can be gone for good. Be careful with dismiss prompts if you’re not sure.
Why Snapchat Recaps are trending right now
Year-end “recap culture” has become a December ritual across apps, and Snapchat’s version is built around personal friendships—group chats, quick check-ins, and everyday moments saved along the way. Snapchat has also highlighted broader trends for 2025, including more calling and voice notes, higher engagement with chat reactions, and busy group chats.

How to share your Snapchat Recap 2025
Once your Recap opens, Snapchat typically gives you share options like posting it to your Story, sending it to friends, or saving it. If you’re sharing publicly, it’s worth watching the whole thing once first—just to make sure it shows only what you’re comfortable sharing.
If you want to remove a specific Snap from your Recap, Snapchat provides a built-in removal option through the menu (three dots) inside the Recap experience.
Fixes if your Snapchat Recap 2025 isn’t loading
If your Recap is stuck loading, blank, or crashing, these are the most reliable quick fixes:
- Keep Snapchat open on the Memories page while connected to Wi-Fi.
- Force close Snapchat, then reopen it.
- Update Snapchat to the latest version from your app store.
Snapchat’s official support page also outlines these steps and explains eligibility rules. You can check it here: What is a Snapchat Recap? (Snapchat Support).
What to do if you don’t have a Recap at all
If you’ve updated the app and still don’t see a Recap card in Memories, it usually comes down to one of three reasons: your account isn’t included in the rollout yet, you didn’t save enough Memories during 2025, or your app needs a clean restart after updating.
Also, keep in mind that Snapchat states Recaps aren’t available “upon request,” so customer support typically can’t manually add one to an account.
