Once imported, Snaps are by default deleted off your Spectacles, freeing up space.
How to Import Snaps on Android
With the release of Android 4.0 in 2011 came Wi-Fi Direct support: A wireless technology which can transfer large amounts of data very quickly between nearby devices without the use of a router. While you may need to confirm your particular device supports Wi-Fi Direct with a simple online search, most Android devices today support the technology. With Wi-Fi direct, all an Android user with Spectacles paired to their phone has to do is take Snaps and they’ll automatically be imported into the Snapchat Memories tab, accessible by a swipe up from the camera in the Snapchat app.
How to Import Snaps on iOS
Apple has opted to discontinue Wi-Fi Direct support in iOS in favor of focusing on their own wireless technology called AirDrop. Unfortunately, Snapchat doesn’t support AirDrop in the same way it supports Wi-Fi Direct, so you can’t automatically import Snaps on iOS. Luckily, all you have to do on iOS is from the Snapchat app, swipe up from the camera and tap import at the top of the screen. Depending on your iOS version (iOS 11 and above or iOS 10) there’ll be either a single pop-up or a few pop-ups with instructions walking you through connecting to your Spectacles. Then, your Snaps will also appear in the Memories tab.
Notes on Snapchat Spectacles Snaps
Importing Snaps from Spectacles is designed to not require much input from the user, but there are a few things to keep in mind
iOS users have the option to enable Spectacles Home Wi-Fi Import, which means when connected to your home network and plugged in, Spectacles will automatically upload their Snaps to your phone. If your Android device doesn’t support Wi-Fi Direct, from the Memories tab you can tap the Import button like on iOS. Videos and pictures taken on Spectacles are formatted in circles (the lenses on the glasses), so when viewing them in Snapchat anyone can rotate their device to see more of the image.
