How do you delete Snapchat messages on both sides?

Deleting Snapchat messages so that they are removed from both sides of a conversation involves a few steps. Here's how you can do it:

### **Deleting a Message from Both Sides**

1. **Open Snapchat**: Launch the Snapchat app on your device.

2. **Go to Chat Screen**: Tap on the chat icon (speech bubble) in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

3. **Open the Chat**: Select the conversation from which you want to delete messages.

4. **Find the Message**: Scroll through the chat to locate the message you want to delete.

5. **Delete the Message**:
   - **Tap and Hold**: Tap and hold the specific message you want to delete. A menu will pop up.
   - **Select "Delete"**: Tap **"Delete"** from the menu.

6. **Confirm Deletion**: Snapchat will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the message. Confirm your choice.

### **Important Considerations**

- **Time Limit**: You can only delete messages from both sides if they were sent within the last 24 hours. After this period, you can only delete the message from your own side.

- **Notification**: The other person in the chat might see a notification that a message has been deleted, but they won't be able to see the message itself.

- **Message Deletion**: Deleting a message will remove it from the chat for both you and the recipient, but it does not guarantee that the recipient hasn't seen or taken a screenshot of the message before deletion.

### **Deleting Entire Conversations**

If you want to clear out a conversation entirely (from your side), you can do the following:

1. **Go to Profile**: Tap on your profile icon or Bitmoji in the top-left corner of the screen.

2. **Open Settings**: Tap on the gear icon (Settings) in the top-right corner.

3. **Manage Conversations**:
   - Scroll down and select **"Clear Conversations"** under the Privacy section.

4. **Select Conversations to Clear**:
   - You'll see a list of your conversations. Tap the **"X"** next to the conversation you want to clear, then confirm.

**Note**: Clearing a conversation from your side does not delete it from the recipient's chat history.

By following these steps, you can manage and delete messages on Snapchat, but remember that the effectiveness of message removal depends on the timing and whether the recipient has already seen the message.
