Regular messages on Snapchat self-destruct after the recipient has opened and read them as they are intended to. However, you can edit in different ways, like to retake what you have said or remove a wrong word that an auto-correct has brought up before the message is seen.
It might be very useful at this point to know how to delete your Snapchat message manually. However, a few conditions must be fulfilled to delete a Snapchat message.
You can only do so if the recipient has not read the message. Therefore, fast work must be performed if it is necessary to reclaim the written work or correct the mistake.
You can also delete specific messages from the recipient’s chat history although this is done once the recipient has already read the message. Here’s how to do both.
How to delete Snapchat messages
Do not forget that one has to remove a Snapchat message within a short time when the recipient has not opened it. Here’s how to do it on your iPhone or Android in the Snapchat app:
- Open the Snapchat app.
- Open your chat screen.
- Open the conversation you want to delete.
- Press & hold on to a message you want to delete.
- Select the Delete option.
- Then, click on the Okay button.
You can be sure that after you go through this process, there will be a note in the chat stating that someone deleted a message.
