How to Permanently Delete Saved Messages from Snapchat
Although Snapchat's original purpose was to allow users to send pictures, videos, and messages that disappear after viewing, the platform has evolved so that people can save messages. Of course, many users do not like this feature and are interested in learning how to delete their saved messages on Snapchat. Unfortunately, you can't delete all your saved messages on Snapchat at once. There are no settings, extensions, or third-party apps to help you do this. However, you can delete your saved messages manually. Let's see how you can delete all your saved messages on Snapchat.

How to delete a saved message in Snapchat
When you want to save a specific message in a conversation, all you have to do is press and hold the message box. A popup window will appear, giving you some options - select "Save to Chat". The background of the saved message will turn gray.
Unsaving a message is equally easy. Just press and hold again. The background will return to normal and the message will be automatically deleted as usual when you reopen Snapchat.
However, sometimes you do, but when you return to Snapchat, the message is still there - why is that?
There are two sides to every conversation, and if the other person saves the message, it will not disappear from your chat unless they save it as well.
So, if you don't save the message, it still exists, chances are the other party saved it. The only way to get rid of it permanently is to ask the other person to delete the message.
How to delete a conversation on Snapchat
If you're less concerned with deleting a message from history and more concerned with messing up your feed, there's a relatively simple option that allows you to delete your feed very quickly, and that is to delete the entire conversation.
Note that deleting a conversation does not delete any saved message - it only deletes the conversation from your display. If you and the same person exchange more chat messages or snaps, any saved messages will be seen again.
Still, it's a good way to clear your Snapchat if you have a lot of conversations that you don't want to show in your feed.
Deleting conversations is pretty easy.
Open the Settings menu and follow these steps:
Scroll down to the Privacy section and tap Clear conversation.
A list of all your conversations will appear; Tap the X next to the conversation you want to delete
Confirm your selection with a clear tap.
To see if the conversation is gone, restart Snapchat and go to your inbox. There should be no thread mark anywhere. Of course, this only removes the conversation from your device, so the other person will have it.
Deleting local data
There are a few third-party apps that let you clear your Snapchat conversations, but the iMyFone Umate Pro seems to be the most popular. The software is capable enough to make sure all your conversations go well.
It can delete any other data that you no longer want to see, not only in Snapchat but also in other apps.
Here's how to use the program to delete your entire Snapchat history from your iPhone
Install and run iMyFone Umate Pro on your PC or Mac.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Open the Erase Private Fragments window, then select the Snapchat icon.
Now click on Erase.
This will delete all your Snapchat personal data including all your saved messages If you want to do the same for other apps, the fastest way is to delete all data. This will erase all personal data from your iPhone, so be sure to back up what you need first.
Frequently Asked Questions
If I delete a conversation, will another user be able to see it?
Yes, if you clear a conversation without waiting for the message to expire, it will still exist at the other users' end for the allotted time. The only exception to this is if the recipient deletes the message before opening it.
Snapchat allows users to remember messages after sending. All you have to do is long press the message in question and tap 'Delete'. A warning message will appear stating that the user will be able to see that you have deleted something. Depending on how badly you want to delete the message, click confirm and the message will disappear on both ends.
Does my chat disappear after 24 hours?
Your chat takes time to disappear depending on your settings. If you long press on the chat, you will see 'Delete after viewing' and 'Delete within 24 hours' options.
Can I delete my account to get rid of saved messages?
Of course, permanently deleting your account will delete your message. However, it will not delete messages for other users. Even if your profile no longer exists, the app will still display what you submitted.
The only way to get messages with you is to first delete them using one of the methods described above.
How do I know if someone else has saved my messages?
Snapchat messages usually disappear within a certain period of time (either after reading or within 24 hours depending on user settings), so if your messages are still there after this time, they are saved.
Saved messages have a gray background instead of a white background. So, if you delete messages that have a gray background, your Snapchat friend probably has a copy of them.
Conclusion
The lack of bulk removal options on Snapchat is probably a side effect of the app's real purpose. There was a time when deleting your saved messages was ridiculous because there were no saved messages. This was the whole point of the app in the first place.
So while this is frustrating for users, the lack of Snapchat deletion options probably won't change anytime soon. If you find an easy way to get rid of all your messages on Snapchat at once, feel free to share in the comments section below.
