The number next to the eye icon shows how often your Story has been watched. See who else viewed your Story by swiping up from the bottom of your screen as the Story plays. Since a Story will remain visible on your profile for up to 24 hours, you can look and see how much of that time your Story has been posted. For example, if the Snap in the Story reads that it was posted 1 hr ago, it will be on your Story for 23 more hours.
You’ll only find your Stories in Memories if the option to automatically save your Story snaps is active or you’ve manually saved your Story. [1] X Research source
If you don’t see your old Stories, you may have disabled the auto-save feature. To re-enable this, go to your profile (tap your profile icon in the top left corner of your screen), then tap the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen (it’s the Settings menu), then tap Memories > Auto-Save My Story Snaps > Auto-Save to Memories.

If you aren’t already viewing Snapchat memories, you’ll need to navigate there first. You’ll want to edit and republish Stories that didn’t get enough engagement or if you want to share that Snap again.
This Story will remain on your profile for 24 hours, then it will be auto-saved into your memories. If you want to save the Story to your phone, view your Snapchat Story, tap the vertical three-dot menu icon, then tap Save.
