Getting Rid of Saved Messages on Snapchat
Hey there! Today, I’ll guide you through the process of clearing out those saved messages on Snapchat. We all know how cluttered things can get, right? So, let’s tidy up and make some room!
First things first, here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Open Snapchat
To start this cleanup mission, open up the Snapchat app on your device. You’re just a tap away from reclaiming some valuable space.
Step 2: Access Your Chat Inbox
Once you’re in the app, you’ll see a little chat icon at the bottom of the screen. Give it a gentle tap, and voilà! You’re in your chat inbox, where all your saved messages reside.
Step 3: Locate and Select the Chat
Now comes the fun part. Look for the chat containing the messages you want to delete. Found it? Great! Tap and hold on that chat until some options appear on the screen.
Step 4: Choose the Messages to Clear
With the chat options in front of you, go ahead and select “Clear Chat” from the list. A new window will pop up, asking if you’re absolutely sure about this. Don’t worry—Snapchat wants to make sure you don’t accidentally delete something important.
Step 5: Confirm and Clear
Once you’re positively sure about letting go of those saved messages, tap “Clear” to seal the deal. And just like that, *poof* – they’re gone! Say goodbye to the clutter and hello to an organized chat inbox.
Remember, deleting messages is a permanent action. So be certain you won’t need those saved messages anymore. And with that, you’ve completed your mission of deleting saved messages on Snapchat.
Well done! Now you have the power to declutter your Snapchat world. Keep your chats tidy, and free up some space for all those amazing new conversations coming your way. Enjoy!
In the early days, Snapchat was designed so that any pictures, videos, or messages would automatically disappear after the receiver saw them. But things have changed, and now you can save messages too.
But what if you want to delete a saved message? I’ll show you how to do it.
First, let’s talk about how to save messages on Snapchat. There are a few reasons why you might want to save a snap. Maybe you want to keep a photo from someone you care about, hold onto a message for inspiration, or save important information for later.
The developers at Snapchat have made it easy to save a message:
1. Open Snapchat and find the chat with the message you want to save. There’s a picture to show you where to look.
2. Press and hold on the message. A window will pop up.
3. Click on “Save in chat.” It’s that simple.
When you save a message, the background turns gray. It’ll stay in your chats for as long as you want, even if the sender deletes it on their end.
Now, let’s talk about how to unsave a message.
To delete a saved message on Snapchat, follow these steps:
1. Open Snapchat and go to the chat with the saved message.
2. Long-press on the message again. A window will appear.
3. Choose “Unsave” from the options.
That’s all there is to it! Now you know how to save and delete messages on Snapchat. Have fun snapping!
If you no longer want to keep a saved snap, you can easily discard it. Unfortunately, there’s no way to delete all of your saved messages at once. You have to delete them one by one. Here’s how:
1. Open Snapchat and find the chat that has the message you want to save. (see picture below)
2. Press and hold on the message. You’ll see a window pop up. (see picture below)
3. Choose “Unsave in Chat.” (see picture below)
As soon as you unsave a message, its background will go back to normal. The message will then automatically delete and won’t show up when you reopen the chat.
To clear saved messages, you have to long-press the message and select “Unsave.” It’s important to note that clearing a chat doesn’t delete saved messages. When the receiver sends you a new message, all the previously saved messages will appear in the chat again.
There may be times when you want to clear all saved messages on Snapchat. Here’s how you can do that:
1. Open Snapchat and tap the “Chat” icon on the bottom left of your screen. (see picture below)
2. On your chats list, long-press the contact with the messages you want to clear. (see picture below)
3. A menu will appear, tap on “More.” (see picture below)
4. Tap on “Clear Conversation.” (see picture below)
5. Tap “Clear” again to confirm that you want to clear the conversation. (see picture below)
Alternatively, there’s another method you can use to clear all your saved messages:
1. Open Snapchat and go to “Settings.” (see picture below)
2. Scroll down and go to “Account Actions.” (see picture below)
3. Tap on “Clear Conversation.” You’ll see a list of all your conversations with different contacts. (see picture below)
4. To clear all saved messages in a conversation, tap the “X” next to it and then tap “Clear” to confirm your selection. (see picture below)
If you want to delete saved messages on Snapchat from another person, here’s what you need to do:
1. Long-press the message you want to delete. (see picture below)
2. Tap on “Delete.” (see picture below)
3. Confirm your selection by tapping on “Delete” again. (see picture below)
In the latest version of Snapchat, you can save messages in one long thread. If you want to delete saved items in a thread, you can either delete them individually or get rid of the entire thread at once.
To delete saved messages one by one:
1. Open the thread that has the saved messages you want to delete. (see picture below)
2. Long-press on the individual message. (see picture below)
3. Tap on “Unsave in Chat.”
To delete an entire thread:
1. Open Snapchat and tap on the ghost icon at the top. (see picture below)
2. Open settings by tapping on the cog icon. (see picture below)
3. Choose “Clear Conversations” from the menu. (see picture below)
4. Scroll through your conversations and choose the one you want to delete.
5. To delete a conversation, tap the “X” next to it. (see picture below)
If you’ve saved some of your own messages and want to delete them, here’s how:
1. Open Snapchat and open the chat that has the saved messages. (see picture below)
2. Long-press on an individual message. (see picture below)
3. Tap on “Delete.” (see picture below)
4. Confirm your selection by tapping on “Delete” again. (see picture below)
How to Delete Saved Messages on Snapchat Without Them Knowing
One of the reasons Snapchat is so popular is that you can delete a saved message without notifying the other person. The message will just disappear from your chat, but if the other person saved it, it will still be there on their end.

How to Tell if Someone Has Deleted a Message on Snapchat
In a one-on-one chat, you won’t receive a notification if the other person deletes a message. However, there are ways to tell if a message has been deleted:

- If you get a notification that someone sent a message, but when you check the chat, there’s no message.
