How to delete messages on Snapchat that the other person saved
To delete messages on Snapchat that the other person saved, navigate to the chat > delete > delete.
Snapchat will then attempt to delete the message from both sides.
1. Open your chat
The first step is to open Snapchat and log in to your account.
Once you’re on Snapchat, you need to navigate to the message that you want to delete.
If the message is not saved by anyone, it’ll automatically be deleted if you close Snapchat.
However, if the message is saved by someone, you need to manually delete it.
2. Tap on “Delete”
To delete the message from both sides, you must first tap and hold it.
A menu will open containing multiple options.
This includes “Unsave”, “Copy”, “Snap Reply”, and “Delete”.
Tap on “Delete” to attempt to delete the message.
3. Tap on “Okay”
After you’ve tapped on “Delete”, you’ll be given two options including “Delete” and “Learn More”.
If you tap on “Learn More”, a pop-up message will appear.
Here’s what it says, “When you delete a message, we’ll attempt to remove it from our servers and your friends’ devices”.
Followed by, “This might not always work, like if someone has a bad internet connection or an old version of Snapchat”.
4. Tap on “Delete”
Lastly, tap on “Delete” to delete the message.
When you delete a message, Snapchat will attempt to delete the message from both sides.
Here’s what you’ll see, “You deleted x chats”.
Your friend will also be able to see that you’ve deleted the message.
5. Your message is deleted
As shown in the screenshot above, your friend will be able to know how many messages you’ve deleted.
If you deleted one message, you’ll see the “You deleted a chat” notification.
On the other hand, if you deleted two messages, you’ll see the “You deleted 2 chats” notification”.
Your friend will also be able to see it.
You’ve successfully learned how to delete a message that someone else saved on Snapchat!
Can you delete messages on Snapchat that someone else saved?
Yes, you can delete messages on Snapchat that someone else saved.
To do so, navigate to the message that you want to delete > tap > hold > delete.
After you’ve tapped on “Delete”, Snapchat will attempt to delete the saved message.
Keep in mind that you can only delete your own messages.
Is there a way to unsave all messages on Snapchat?
No, there is no way to unsave all messages on Snapchat at once.
You can only manually unsave messages on Snapchat.
To do so, navigate to the chat, tap and hold the message, and tap on “Unsave”.
Does removing a friend on Snapchat delete saved messages?
No, removing a friend on Snapchat does not delete saved messages.
When you remove someone on Snapchat, they still can see all the saved messages by viewing the chat.
Removing a friend on Snapchat will not remove them from your chat list.
Similarly, it will not remove you from the other person’s chat list.
That being said, the other person will still be able to see the saved messages.
Does blocking someone on Snapchat get rid of saved messages?
No, blocking someone on Snapchat will not get rid of saved messages.
When you block someone on Snapchat, you will no longer receive snaps or messages from them.
However, the person that you’ve blocked will still have access to your chat in their chat list.
This means that they still can view all the saved messages between them and you.
Conclusion
In 2018, Snapchat released a feature where you can delete messages that you’ve sent.
This is really helpful if you’ve accidentally sent an unintended message to someone.
Keep in mind that deleting the message does not always work.
This is because the other person still might have the message on their chat if they have a poor internet connection or if they have an old version of Snapchat.
Either way, it’s still worth a shot if you want to get rid of the message.
