How to Delete Your Snapchat Account

Snapchat is a popular social media app that lets you send and receive photos, videos, and messages that disappear after a few seconds. But what if you want to delete your Snapchat account for good? Maybe you're tired of the app, or you want to protect your privacy, or you just want to start fresh. Whatever the reason, deleting your Snapchat account is not as hard as you might think. Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Log in to the Snapchat accounts portal

Before you can delete your account, you need to log in to the Snapchat accounts portal (https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/delete_account) using your username and password. If you don't remember your password, you can reset it by tapping "Forgot your password?" on the login screen.

Step 2: Tap 'Delete My Account'

Once you're logged in, you'll see a screen with some information about deleting your account. Tap "Delete My Account" at the bottom of the screen to proceed.

Step 3: Input your password

You'll be asked to enter your password again to confirm that you want to delete your account. Type in your password and tap "Continue".

Step 4: Confirm account deactivation/deletion

You'll see a final screen with a goodbye message and some details about what happens when you delete your account. Read it carefully and tap "Continue" to confirm.

What happens when you delete your Snapchat account?

When you delete your Snapchat account, it will be deactivated for 30 days. During this time, you can still reactivate it by logging in with your username and password. After 30 days, your account will be permanently deleted and you won't be able to access it anymore.

Deleting your account will also delete all of your data, such as your snaps, chats, stories, friends, and settings. However, some data may be retained for legal, security, and business needs, such as your purchase history and the date you accepted the terms of service and privacy policy.

Deleting your account will not delete any snaps or chats that you sent to other users before deleting your account. They may still have them in their memories or chat history. If you want to delete them, you'll need to do so manually before deleting your account.

Deleting your account will not affect any third-party apps or services that you linked to your Snapchat account, such as Bitmoji or Snap Kit. You'll need to unlink them separately before deleting your account.

Deleting your account will not unsubscribe you from any emails or notifications that you receive from Snapchat. You'll need to unsubscribe from them manually before deleting your account.

Conclusion

Deleting your Snapchat account is a simple process that takes only a few minutes. However, it's a permanent decision that will erase all of your data and prevent you from accessing the app again. Therefore, make sure that you really want to delete your account before doing so. If you change your mind, you can always reactivate it within 30 days of deletion.
