How to Enable Snapchat My Eyes Only Private Photo Album Vault

Snapchat’s “My Eyes Only” feature allows users to hide photos and videos in a private, passcode-protected album within the Snapchat app. This keeps sensitive content extra secure and private. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use My Eyes Only on Snapchat.

What is My Eyes Only on Snapchat?

My Eyes Only is a private, passcode-protected photo album vault within Snapchat’s Memories section. It provides an extra layer of security and privacy for your most sensitive Snaps that you want to keep hidden from others.

Snaps moved to My Eyes Only are encrypted and can only be viewed after entering your self-created passcode. Not even Snapchat can access or help recover snaps stored in My Eyes Only if you forget the passcode.

Benefits of Using My Eyes Only

  • Extra privacy and security for sensitive snaps
  • Passcode-protected album vault
  • Encrypted snaps for added security
  • Self-created passcode prevents unauthorized access
  • Keeps snaps hidden from friends, family, partners
  • Peace of mind knowing private snaps are secure

Setting up My Eyes Only is quick and easy:

  1. Open Snapchat and swipe up from the camera screen to access Memories
  2. Tap the “My Eyes Only” tab
  3. Tap “Quick Setup”
  4. Create a 4-digit passcode to access your private album vault
  5. Tap “Next” and read the information about recovering passcodes

How to View My Eyes Only Album

To view your private My Eyes Only album:

  4. Access and view your hidden snaps

Tips for Using My Eyes Only Securely

  • Create a unique passcode that only you know
  • Never share your passcode with anyone
  • Consider changing your passcode periodically
  • Be careful about screenshots – anyone you share a My Eyes Only snap with can still screenshot it
  • Delete sensitive snaps from Memories after adding them to My Eyes Only

My Eyes Only vs Blocking Users

My Eyes Only hides photos from everyone, even your friends on Snapchat. The Block feature prevents specific users from viewing your story or contacting you – it does not hide private snaps. Use both features for maximum privacy.

So in summary, My Eyes Only is a private, passcode-protected album vault within Snapchat that provides extra security and privacy for your most sensitive snaps. It’s easy to set up and gives users peace of mind knowing their private content cannot be accessed without their passcode.
