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 10 best apps for a second phone number in 2024

Having a second phone number can be handy for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you want to separate your business and personal calls, or you want a junk second number that you can use to sign up for services so you can avoid giving out your personal number to so many places. That's particularly importance with the frequency of annoying spam calls and messages that can pile up when your phone number is made public. You might also want a second number to use in situations where you want to be able to contact people occasionally but you don't necessarily want them to be able to reach your personal device directly, like when internet dating or using an app like AirBnB. Whatever the reason, there are many situations where having a number that you can give out which you can make use of but isn't directly tied to your personal life like your main phone number is can be important for safety and security.

While you could get a second SIM card (or even an eSIM), an easier option for casual use is to use an app that lets you set up a second phone line. Whether you're after an Android app or an iPhone app, you'll find plenty of options to get a second phone line, including some which are free to use. We've hunted down some of the best options for apps that will give you a second phone number for whatever reason you need it, and we're sharing them with you below.
