How To Delete All Saved Messages on Snapchat?

Gone are the days when Snapchat messages disappeared immediately after they were viewed.

These days there are tons of options to choose from. You can choose to delete the messages immediately after they are viewed, after 24 hours, or keep them indefinitely.

To keep messages indefinitely, you need to save them, which can take up a significant portion of your phone storage. To prevent that, you might want to delete your saved messages when they are not needed anymore.

So, how can you delete all saved messages on Snapchat?

The method above discusses how to delete saved messages sent by you. Therefore, without further ado, let’s delve right into that. 

How Delete All Saved Snapchat Messages?

Snapchat messages are automatically deleted 24 hours after the receiver has viewed them. Meanwhile, you can change the setting such that the message is deleted immediately after being viewed by the receiver.

Nonetheless, saved messages cannot be deleted automatically.

Therefore, here is how to delete Snapchat messages:

1. Open the Snapchat app on your mobile device.
2. Click on the chat icon at the bottom or swipe right on the screen.
3. Tap on the friend’s username whose message you want to delete.
4. Tap on each of the messages that you want to Unsave or delete.
5. Repeat the process for each where you have saved messages.

The background of the message now turns from grey to chat color, indicating that the message has been unsaved. Also, Snapchat will show an “Unsaved” label in front of the message for a couple of seconds.

How To Save Messages on Snapchat?

You might want to save Snapchat messages for several reasons. You should note that you can only save each message in a conversation one at a time. Therefore, we will show you how to do that.

Here is how to save your Snapchat messages:
