And remember, your friends can always take a screenshot before you delete the message! Please Note: When you delete a message, we'll attempt to remove it from our servers and your friends' devices. This might not always work if someone has a bad internet connection, or is running an old version of Snapchat.
When someone opens your Snap, you delete it, or it disappears after 31 days without interaction, Snapchat automatically erases the data from the servers, and you can no longer recover it. Plus, you can't contact the support team for copies of your Snaps.
You can delete a Snapchat message as long as the recipient has not yet viewed the message. Even if you delete your Snapchat message in time, both recipients will see a note in the chat that a message has been deleted.
Keep in mind that your friends in the chat will be able to see that you deleted something. There's no guarantee that your friends won't see your message even if you delete it. They could beat you to it and end up seeing the message if they were quick enough.
Snapchat servers are designed to automatically delete all Snaps after they've been viewed by all recipients. Snapchat servers are designed to automatically delete unopened one-on-one Snaps after 31 days. Snapchat servers are designed to automatically delete unopened Snaps sent to a Group Chat after 7 days.
Once we've been notified that a snap has been opened by all of its recipients, it is deleted from our servers. If a snap is still unopened after 30 days, it too is deleted from our servers. After a snap has been opened, the temporary copy of it is deleted from the device's storage.
What happens after deleting Snapchat? Your account is deactivated. After 30 days, it's permanently deleted.
Unopened Snaps and Chats are deleted from Snapchat's servers after 30 days. When opened, Snaps are deleted after opening unless they are saved. Chats can be available for 24 hours after they're opened, but will also be deleted permanently after that if not saved.
Without the password, no one can view the things you've saved to My Eyes Only — not even us!
Just tap, and the content in question will disappear. The person you sent the message to will still get a notification that something was sent to them and deleted, but as long as it was never opened in the first place, they won't know what it was.
According to Snapchat, if you choose to delete the Snapchat app, your Snapchat Memories are still preserved. To access them, all you need to do is download the app again and log back in to the same account.
How Secure Is Snapchat? Snapchat uses end-to-end encryption on photos shared between its users. Text messages and other messages sent on Snapchat aren't protected by the same encryption.
Tap on the gear icon to go into settings. Go down to “Account Actions”. Tap “Clear Conversations”. Here, your messages will be visible, with little X's in the corner of each one.
