3. Tap on “Options”

“Change passcode, Forget passcode…”

How to recover my eyes only pictures on snapchat on Android?

You can recover my eyes only pictures on snapchat using two simple methods:

First method is going into your Snapchat app and clicking on your profile icon in the upper left-hand corner of your screen.

Then, click on the “settings” icon in the upper right-hand corner.

Then, under the “Privacy” tab, you’ll see “My Data”.

Note: you will be asked to re-enter your main snapchat account password to be able to have your data sent to you.

The second method can only work on an android device.

All you need to do is go to android File manager.

Navigate to “Internal storage” and find the “Android folder.

Tap on that and then proceed to find “files” Tap on that.

Now, find files that have a .nomedia extension on them.

Now, delete that extension and they will be restored to your Snapchat account.

This second method only works for a period of time, so be fast to save as much pictures as you can to your camera roll.

And, yes you can repeat the process as many times as needed but there’s no guarantee that it would work all the time.

How to put videos in my eyes only

It is important to note you can only save one video at a time to my eyes only and that video must be less than 10 seconds long.

To put your video on my eyes only on snapchat, simply swipe up while still on the camera section of the Snapchat app.

Navigate to the camera roll tab, find the video you want to hide, press and hold to select.

Once selected, you will see some icon and texts like: “edit” on the left hand bottom corner of your screen.

Click on the “Hide” icon and a pop up message like:

Just tap on “move” and you will then again be asked if you want to delete the original video.

This means that Snapchat will save a copy of your video on ‘My eyes only, so even if you delete the original and no one will ever see the video on your phone gallery.

However, anyone with a password to your ‘My eyes only’ on Snapchat will be able to access it.

Once you can then decide on which option you want, click on it and your video will be moved to the my eyes only secured folder right there on your Snapchat app.
