I want to know more about My Eyes Only, does it remove it from your memories completely or does it add it to a password protected folder or something? 🤔

@marsh931 I believe it just adds it to a password protected folder

@marsh931 It bizarrely appears to upload the photo to Snapchat when you add it to "My Eyes Only" in addition to removing it from the camera roll tab. Very very strange because the camera roll is not uploaded to Snapchat by default. So only your potentially most private photos will be uploaded to Snapchat's servers?
I mean, it's not really giving up "ephermality" that much, because they already let you download the photos as soon as you took them. This is just giving you a way to do that without leaving the Snapchat experience, which is obviously good for them.
The direction they're moving in a utility is genius, Big props to the @Snapchat dev team for innovating in the right ways. Most millenials use snapchat as their go to camera anyway, so for them to incorperate this feature is a no brainer.
Why is there no mention anywhere of the automatic tagging applied to memories? Snapchat are blatantly running A.I through your photos and I'm quite shocked at what it can tag...cats...dogs...specific breed of dog, carpet on my floors, phones...it's literally picking up every object in your photos and tagging them. Does any other camera or album app do this? Search your memories and see. If it's being done to memories, it's being done to every photo you take on Snapchat. There would have been no way for users to realise they were doing this until now. Massive invasion of privacy.
The "save for my eyes only" feature harkens back to the early utility of the service, where snaps were deliberately a private artifact. Overall, the direction definitely challenges the native iOS memories feature, which will roll out with iOS 10 this fall.
