Can You Unsend a Snap? No, But You Can Delete It

When you take photo or video snaps to send to friends on Snapchat, there's no way to undo them once they've been sent. The only thing you can do is delete the message, but there isn't a 100 percent guarantee that the recipient won't see it.


How to Delete Chat Messages You've Sent?

Since chat messages are automatically deleted as soon as you exit the chat, the following instructions assume that you currently have a chat open with a friend or group.

These instructions can be followed for both the iOS and Android versions of the Snapchat app, but note that the below screenshots are from the iOS version.

In the chat tab, tap and hold your finger down on the message you sent and want to delete.

Tap Delete.

Tap the purple Delete button to confirm that you want it deleted. Keep in mind that your friends in the chat will be able to see that you deleted something.

There's no guarantee that your friends won't see your message even if you delete it. They could beat you to it and end up seeing the message if they were quick enough. Snapchat also notes that deletion may not always work depending on certain circumstances—like if a friend has a spotty internet connection or is using an older version of the app.


Why Can't You Unsend Photo and Video Snaps?

In older versions of the Snapchat app, users discovered certain tricks that worked for unsending photo or video snaps. They discovered that they could sometimes successfully unsend snaps by:

  • Turning airplane mode on.
  • Removing the snap recipient from the sender's friend list.
  • Blocking the snap recipient;
  • Signing out of the sender's account
  • Uninstalling the app from the sender's device; and
  • Deactivating or deleting your (the sender's) account.

















These tricks might have worked back in the day, but this isn't the case anymore with more recent versions of the app. As soon as you send a snap, it's uploaded to Snapchat's cloud-based system.

Once a recipient opens a snap they received from a friend or group of friends, it's automatically deleted from Snapchat's servers. Any action you try to take on your end after you've sent a snap won't work because the snap has already reached the cloud.

The only time you can actually undo (delete) a photo or video snap is if it's in Snapchat story form. If you took a photo or video snap and posted it to your stories, you'll be able to delete it by viewing the story, swiping up on it and tapping the trash icon. If you also sent it to friends/groups as a regular snap, you won't be able to unsend or delete it.


What Can You Unsend on Snapchat?

Although you can't unsend photo or video snaps, you can unsend other types of content. "Unsend," however, isn't quite the right word to describe it. "Delete" is more appropriate.

Snapchat's Clear Chats feature allows users to delete chat messages they've sent to individuals or groups of friends. The chat is the thread of messages and interactions you see when you tap the name of the friend or group in your Conversations tab.

Clear Chats is different from Clear Snapchat Conversations, which simple deletes your recent friend and group interactions from your Conversations tab.

You can delete any of the following from your chats:

Text;Stickers (including Bitmoji stickers);

Audio messages; and

Photos and videos sent from the Memories tab (such as those that were saved or uploaded from your device).

How to diagnose your wi-fi problems?

Whenever someone sends me a question about how to fix their Wi-Fi, I wince. It’s not that I dislike helping people with their router problems. In fact, there are few geeky endeavors I find more rewarding than fixing Wi-Fi connection issues at a friend or family member’s home. But Wi-Fi has always felt more like a dark art than a science, and it’s an art that’s hard to conjure without being physically present. Potential points of failure are everywhere, and what works well in one home might not in another. Even the reviewers of networking gear can reach drastically different conclusions about the very same product. http://jl.kaoyanzhi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7357294&extra=page%3D1 http://jl.kaoyanzhi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7966903&extra=page%3D1 http://jl.kaoyanzhi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=99072 https://forum-tver.ru/threads/tver-shou.22727/ https://forum-tver.ru/threads/tver-vodokanal.26829/ http://www.skillcoach.org/forums/topic/385331/op...

How to reset your iPhone?

After many years spent with the iPhone, we have discovered countless tips and tricks to get the most out of it, but it’s always good to get a refresher for some important basics. Something all iPhone users need to know is how to reset the phone. The steps used to be exactly the same on every device, but things have changed a little since the iPhone X, since it replaced Touch ID with Face ID and has no Home button. If you upgraded from an older iPhone model to one of the latest models, such as the iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro, but have never needed to reset it, you may be at a loss as to how to begin the process. We explain how to reset your iPhone, when you should restart it, and how to force a restart when your phone is not responding. We also lay out the differences between a restart, a soft reset, and a factory reset. https://forum-old.soria2.pl/index.php?/topic/3502-black-widow-billiard-player-yard-bird-restaurant-locations/&page=2 https://63game.top/thread-11694-2-1.html https:/...

What Is a Robot?

The word "robot" isn't well defined, at least not presently. A great deal of debate exists in the science, engineering, and hobbyist communities about exactly what a robot is, and what it is not. If your vision of a robot is a somewhat human-looking device that carries out orders on command, then you're thinking of one type of device that most people recognize as a robot. It's not a common one and not practical yet, but it makes a great character in science fiction literature and movies. Robots in other, more common guises are much more common than many people think, and you likely encounter them every day. If you've taken your car through an automatic car wash, withdrawn cash from an ATM, or used a vending machine to grab a beverage, you probably interacted with a robot.   What's the Definition of a Robot? One common application of the term "robot" is for a machine that carries out a series of actions automatically and is typically programmed by...
