Complete Detail To Delete Or Deactivate Your Snapchat Account

Snapchat, unlike other popular social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, can be an overwhelming place for many people. As someone who can’t keep up with the never-ending quest for Snapstreaks and filters, I frequently reinstall the app on a monthly basis to stay up to date on what my friends are up to. You’ve come to the right place if you don’t want to feel the peer pressure to keep your Snapstreaks going or if you just want to take a break from the messaging platform. We’ll go over how to deactivate or delete your Snapchat account in detail in this article.

Snapchat Account Deactivation or Deletion

Along with instructions for deactivating and deleting your Snapchat account, we’ve also included instructions for downloading your Snapchat data. If you intend to delete your Snapchat account permanently, you should consider requesting your account data in case you need it later.

Before Deleting Your Snapchat Account, You Should Download The Data.

You can download a copy of your data before deactivating or deleting your Snapchat account. Here’s how to go about it:

1. Sign in to Snapchat’s accounts portal in a desktop or mobile browser and select “My Data.”

2. To request your Snapchat data, scroll down to the bottom and select the “Submit Request” button.

3. A confirmation message recognising the request will now appear. It may take a while to receive the email with directions on how to download your Snapchat data, depending on the amount of data you have. After that, you can erase your Snapchat account.

Deactivating a Snapchat Account

1. Go to the Snapchat accounts gateway and select “Delete My Account” from the drop-down menu.

2. To continue, enter your Snapchat credentials, notably your username and password, and click “Continue.”

3. That’s all there is to it. A confirmation message will appear, stating that your Snapchat account will be terminated soon. You have 30 days to restart your Snapchat account if you change your mind. Instructions for reactivating your Snapchat account can be found in the next section.

Reactivating a Snapchat Account

If you change your mind about leaving Snapchat, you can reclaim your account. The caveat is that you must reactivate your account within the next 30 days. Your account will be suspended for the first 30 days and then completely erased after another 30 days, according to the company’s help page.

However, we found contradicting material claiming that you have 180 days from the reactivation screen to reactivate your account (as shown in screenshots below). There appears to be an internal miscommunication here, and the current 60-day deadline should be assumed for the time being. With that in mind, here’s how to get your Snapchat account back online:

1. It’s simple to reactivate your Snapchat account. All you have to do now is re-enter your username and password into the app.

2. Tap “Yes” on the reactivation confirmation window to regain access to your account. As previously said, it’s unclear whether Snapchat has extended the time for reactivating the account. We contacted Snapchat for confirmation and will update this article if we receive a response.

What Is The Procedure For Deleting A Snapchat Account?

If you’ve had enough of Snapchat and believe you’d be better off without it, you can delete your account instead. The processes to deactivate and remove the account are the same, however for added clarity, see the instructions below.

1. Go to Snapchat’s web account interface and select “Delete My Account” from the drop-down menu.

2. Fill in your username and password on the next page, then click the yellow “Continue” button.

3. Your Snapchat account has been successfully erased. If you don’t manually reactivate your account later (within the specified reactivation period), Snapchat will erase your account permanently.
