If you’re a Snapchat user, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the app’s “delete your account” feature. But what does it actually mean? First and foremost, deleting your Snapchat account means that you’ll no longer be able to use the app. However, if you’ve set up a password for your account (or if someone has hacked your phone), you’ll still be able to access it if you need to. If all else fails, there are a few ways to delete your Snapchat account:
- Type “delete my account” into the app’s main menu and hit enter. This will take you to a page where you can choose how to delete your account: by emailing yourself the deletion notice, or by going through the app’s settings and deleting everything from “accounts” until “snapchat.” If all else fails, just type “delete my account” into the chat box on any of your snaps and hit send.
- If all of these methods don’t work for you or if there’s still something preventing you from deleting your Snapchat account, reach out to customer service. Many users have had success with using live chat instead.
