Where Are Snapchat Memories and Cache Stored?
Snapchat local cache on Android and the cloud truth about Memories: exports, not file copies, are the backup.
Last updated
Snapchat keeps its working cache under its Android data folder. Memories, the thing people actually want to back up, live in Snapchat's cloud account storage.
File-level copies of the cache are useless for Memories recovery. Export from inside the app is the only real backup route.

Holds image and video cache, not exportable Memories. Clear from in-app settings rather than deleting by hand. iOS equivalents hide inside the app container with no stable browsable path.
