How to find your Snapchat Recap 2023

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.

The wearable segment is at a standstill right now because companies have apparently run out of sensor innovation. Microfluidics and stretchable electronics have recently emerged as hotbeds for cutting-edge wearable research, but those promising papers have yet to see commercial success.

Klick Labs, on the other hand, is looking at voice recordings as the next goldmine for biomarkers. Imagine using voice recordings from a smartphone as a monitoring tool for Type 2 diabetes or voice clips to assess glucose levels. It sounds rather factastical, but that’s what the team has been working on, and with encouraging results.

It's an absolute tragedy: The normally chipper Duolingo owl has fallen ill.

Just kidding. The app icon might have changed, but it doesn't mean any significant changes are coming to the app. It did stir up quite a bit of conversation on both X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit, though, as users around the world noticed that the Duo owl looked like he needed a heavy dose of DayQuil.
