How to Delete All Saved Messages on Snapchat at Once

While Snapchat is excellent for privacy, it allows you and the recipient to save messages. This can be a big issue, especially if you share sensitive or private content on the platform. 

Depending on users ‘ settings, Snapchat messages generally disappear within a specific timeframe, either upon reading or within 24 hours. So, if your messages are still there after this time, they’ve been saved and should have a grey rather than a plain white background.

Additionally, once a message is saved, neither party can delete it; it can only be removed if it’s unsaved by either the sender or the recipient. So, if you value your privacy, you should consider deleting all your saved messages on Snapchat. But can you even delete all saved messages on Snapchat at once?

Can You Delete All Saved Messages on Snapchat at Once?

Sadly, there is no way to delete multiple saved Snapchat messages simultaneously. You can only delete them one by one. Also, there are no third-party apps or services that can do it.

The only solution here is to set up Snapchat messages and Snaps to automatically delete themselves instantly after being viewed or within 24 hours. But this will only work for future chats or Snaps you send or receive on the platform. This is also valid for sending old pictures as a new Snap.

Note if someone sends you a Snap that is only viewable for a few seconds (10 seconds or less), you cannot save it. But this applies only to Snaps and not messages.

How to Delete a Saved Message on Snapchat

When you save a message on Snapchat, the background of the saved message turns grey. This makes it easy for both parties involved in a conversation to identify when a message is saved. Deleting a saved message is also easy in Snapchat, though it requires opening that conversation. 

  1. Open the conversation with the person on Snapchat whose saved message you want to delete.
  2. Press and hold the saved message.
  3. Tap the Unsave in Chat button.

How to Remove Unwanted Snapchat Conversations From Your Feed

Do you want to get rid of the clutter in your Snapchat inbox quickly? You can remove all conversations from your inbox to achieve this.

Note that deleting a conversation in Snapchat does NOT delete any saved messages – it only stops displaying the conversation in your feed. Any saved messages or Snaps will reappear if you and the same person exchange more chat messages or snaps.

Still, this is an excellent way to clean your Snapchat inbox if you have a lot of conversations that you’d rather not be visible in your feed.

  1. Open Snapchat on your phone.
  2. Tap the Chat icon.
  3. Tap on the three-dot horizontal menu to open the flyout menu.
  4. Select Manage Chats.

  5. Tap the close icon next to the profile.
  6. Press the Clear button.

To see whether the conversation is gone, re-launch Snapchat and go to your inbox. There should be no sign of the thread anywhere.

The Final Word

It is annoying that you cannot delete multiple Snapchat conversations simultaneously, especially if the messages are saved. Sadly, Snapchat is unlikely to change its stance anytime soon as well.
