You can delete Snaps that you’ve sent to Stories, friends or groups. If you created a Private or Shared Story, you can also delete other people's Snaps from that Story! Otherwise, you can only delete the Snaps that you’ve added.
To delete a Snap from a Story…
- Tap your Bitmoji or Story icon at the top to go to My Profile
- Tap the Story that you want to delete a Snap from
- Swipe up on the Snap you want to delete
(If you've added multiple Snaps to the Story, tap to advance to the Snap you want to delete.) - Tap 🗑 at the bottom and tap 'Delete'
To delete a Snap in Chat, press and hold on it and tap 'Delete.'
Your friends will be able to see that a Snap was deleted in Chat.
You can delete a Snap if the Snap is in the following states:
- Delivered
- Opened (by one or all members of the conversation)
Please Note: when you delete a Snap, 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. In this case, the deleted Snap may still appear for a brief moment!
⚠️ Important: The person who created a Story can save the entire Story to their Memories at any time. Also, don’t forget that anyone else that can view the Story can always screenshot Snaps, too!
