How to delete Snapchat messages before they are read by RECIPIENT

Snapchat messages are designed to be automatically deleted as soon as recipients open and read them. But sometimes you want to take back what you said or fix a terrible self-correcting error before your message is read. This article is about how to delete Snapchat messages before they are read by RECIPIENT.

You can delete a Snapchat message as long as the recipient has not seen the message yet.


Even if you delete your Snapchat message in time, both recipients will see a note in the chat that the message has been deleted.

You can also delete the entire conversation from your chat history, although that’s when the recipient has already seen the message.

That’s when manually deleting your Snapchat messages can come in handy. However, there are a few requirements that you will need to meet in order to delete a Snapchat message.

How to delete Snapchat messages before they are read by RECIPIENT

For example, you can only do this if the recipient has not seen the message. So speed is important if you want to resume what you write or correct an error.

You can also delete all conversations in your cat history, though it occurs when the receiver has already seen the message. Here’s how to do both.

How to delete Snapchat messages


Remember, you must be quick to delete a Snapchat message before the recipient views it.

Here’s how to do it on your iPhone or Android with the Snapchat mobile app:

Open your Snapchat application and log in, if necessary.

2. Slide from left to right to open your conversation.

3. Select the conversation with the message you want to delete by clicking on it.

4. Find the message you want to delete, then tap and hold it to open a pop-up menu.

Select Delete in the pop-up window.

A message may appear telling you that if your recipient has a poor internet connection or an old version of the Snapchat app, deleting the message may not work – if you see this message, click OK.

You can also click Learn More to view this information.

6. Confirm your choice by selecting Delete and Delete Chat? show.

To be clear, even though it says “delete chat“, this action will not delete all chats, only the messages you selected.

After you complete this process, there will be a note in the chat that you have deleted the message.

Important: this note appears at both ends of the plot. So even though the recipient won’t be able to read what you wrote, they will know that you sent something and then deleted it.

How to clear an entire conversation on Snapchat


You can also clear conversations in Snapchat if you want to delete your chat history.

1. Open your Snapchat application and log in, if necessary.

2. Go to your profile page by clicking on your avatar in the upper left corner of the app.

3. On your profile page, tap the settings icon in the upper right corner.

4. On the Settings page, scroll down to the Account Behavior section and select Clear Conversations.

5. On the next page, click the “X” next to the name to clear all conversations between you and that person.

6. Select Delete from the pop-up window.

Quick tip: You can also clear all conversations in Snapchat’s Settings menu.
