It's that time of year. The weather is getting colder, peppermint mochas are readily available, and every other app on your phone has a "wrapped" or "recap" feature to commemorate the end of 2023. The latest to do this is Snapchat with Snapchat Recap 2023.
Toward the end of each year, Snapchat launches Snapchat Recap as a way to look back at your past year on the app. If you frequently post on Snapchat, it can be a great little time capsule to review all of the highs (and lows) of how your year went. Ready to get started? Let's go!
Viewing your Snapchat Recap is straightforward, but knowing where to look isn't immediately obvious. Here's what to do:
Step 1: Open the Snapchat app on your phone.
Step 2: Swipe up from the camera screen to go to the Memories page.
Step 3: Your should see your Snapchat Recap 2023 at the top of the page. If it's not there, swipe left on the carousel of Flashbacks until you find Your 2023 Recap.
Step 4: Select Your 2023 Recap to watch your recap.
Step 5: At any point while watching your Snapchat Recap, select Story to add it to your story, or select Send To to send it to a specific friend/group chat.
Step 6: Depending on what you posted to Snapchat in 2023, you'll see your Recap broken into a few different categories. For example, if you posted any photos/videos near oceans and lakes, you'll see those in a "Beach Please" category. If you were an avid selfie-taker in 2023, some of your highlights will appear in a "Felt Cute, Will Delete Later" section.
And that's all there is to it! You can view your Snapchat Recap 2023 as often as you'd like, so feel free to come back and view it however often you want.
Snapchat is just one of many apps offering 2023 recaps right now. You can also find your Duolingo Year in Review, Reddit Recap, Spotify Wrapped, Apple Music Replay, and more.
Two new highly requested iCloud plugins just got added to ChatGPT, giving people who rely on Apple’s Mail and Calendar services a way to search emails, check appointments, and manage their schedules directly through the chatbot.
The integration is rolling out to all ChatGPT plans, including the free tier. You can access it on the web, desktop, and iOS.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
