This article examines Delete messages sent on Snapchat and explains the main developments, practical implications, and context readers should understand.

How to Delete Sent Messages on Snapchat

First, you need to update the Snapchat application to the latest version available. This feature is added and works by updating the application. This also means that if your friend is using an older version of the application, you may not be able to delete the message sent in the conversation with them.

After you've updated the app, send a message to a contact you know (provided that the person is running the latest version of the application, as mentioned above). Press and hold the message you just sent and a menu will appear. Select the ' Delete ' option in that menu.

A Few Other Notes

This feature requires some response conditions so that it can work. With our initial tests, the simple Delete button will not appear. When you first delete a message, Snapchat will tell you it is trying to remove that message from your friends. However, this function does not always work. A weak Internet signal or an old version of Snapchat may be the reason why deleting sent messages may fail.

When you delete a sent message, the action only appears at the end of the conversation, ie, you will see a ' You deleted a chat ' message at the bottom of the screen. However, the person you are chatting with will not see this message

The best way to ensure your message will be deleted is to delete it as soon as possible. If your friend has seen the message, deleting the message will have no meaning. With group chats, it will take longer to delete a sent message. As long as everyone in the group doesn't see the message, you can still revoke it. This is speculated from the small demo, which provides new features of Snapchat. If you have a group chat with 6 people in it and you send a message only 3 or 4 people have seen it, you can still retrieve the message.
