How to delete an unopened message on Snapchat?

Many times we may have sent a message and then regret it later on. This can happen to our kids as well when they are using Snapchat.

Luckily in 2023, Snapchat added a new feature called ‘Delete Chat’. This means that your kids are able to delete a message before it is being seen by the other person.

Here is how you can delete a sent message on Snapchat :

  1. Open the text message where you want to delete the message
  2. Click on that particular message
  3. Click delete

The message will then be deleted and cannot be read by the other person.

The same method can also be used to delete chats that has been viewed. However, there is no way to delete an entire chat with one button. It has to be done per line.

Do keep in mind that the other person will know that a message has been deleted. Although they can’t view the message, they will get a notification that a message cannot be viewed.

Can I unsend a snap on Snapchat ?

No, unfortunately once a snap has been sent it can no longer be deleted.

You can delete messages on snapchat but not Snaps.

Hence, inform your kids to be careful when sending Snaps on Snapchat cause once a snap is sent there is no way to unsend it.

Other Snapchat safety tips :

  1. Ensure your child is at least 13 years old before using Snapchat. Even then there are still plenty of adult content on Snapchat
  2. Limit who can contact your child on Snapchat : Click on Settings, click on Who Can Contact Me, select My Friends.
  3. Limit who can see your child’s story : Click on Settings, Click Who Can See My Story, click Customs, and block whoever you do not want to be viewing your child’s story.
  4. Turn off location services: Go to Settings – Who Can – See My Location and activate Ghost Mode
  5. Switch of Snap Map: Snap Maps allows users to see each other on a map and then interact with their Snaps. This means that your child can be in contact with a stranger near to their location. Switch off this mode on their Snapchat.
