Quick Answer
Yes, when you delete someone on Snapchat, the entire conversation history disappears. Both you and the other person will no longer be able to see or access any of the Snaps, messages, photos, videos or other content you’ve exchanged on Snapchat. Deleting a friend removes them completely from your friends list and erases the conversation thread.
Detailed Answer
Snapchat is designed so that interactions, like Snaps and Chats, are ephemeral and temporary. This promotes sharing casual, in-the-moment content that you wouldn’t necessarily want to save forever.
Deleting a friend takes this ephemeral nature one step further by erasing your entire Snapchat history with that person. Here is what happens when you delete someone on Snapchat:
All messages, Snaps, photos and videos are deleted
– Any Snaps and Chats you’ve exchanged, whether text, photo, video or voice, are all deleted. This includes one-on-one conversations as well as group chats.
– All photos and videos saved to your Memories are deleted. Even if you posted the photo to your Story first, then saved it, it’s erased if it came from that friend.
– Any Stories or posts you’ve shared are deleted from both yours and their Snapchat History.
– All Snapstreaks and emojis are reset. You both go back to 0 days for your streak count.
The friend is removed from all Friends lists
– They are deleted from your main Friends list as well as any custom Friends lists like your “Best Friends” list.
– You both lose access to any shared Group stories or Group chats you were in together.
– They disappear from your Snap Map and you disappear from theirs. Location sharing ends.
All evidence of your connection is erased
– Your Bitmoji disappear from each other’s Friend emojis.
– Your names are removed from any saved captions or conversations. It just shows as “Someone” instead of your/their name.
– Any public Snapchat stories you’re both following stay, but the connection is removed.
– Scores and rankings for things like Snapstreaks are reset since you’ve “never snapped” that person.
No way to recover deleted Snaps
Unfortunately, there is no way to recover deleted Snaps or Chats after removing a friend. The content is permanently erased from Snapchat’s servers, so neither party has access anymore.
Some things to keep in mind when deleting a friend:
– Delete carefully! There is no undo and no way to retrieve deleted Snaps.
– Screenshot anything you might want to keep as a memory before deleting.
– If you just want to take a break from someone, you can unfriend them temporarily instead of a permanent delete.
– You can always add them back later to start fresh and new conversation threads.
Conclusion
Deleting someone on Snapchat erases your entire conversational history and ends your Snapstreak permanently. All Snaps, messages, photos, videos and interactions are wiped from both yours and their accounts. Removing a friend takes away access on both sides permanently. There is no way to recover deleted content after removing someone. Before deleting, make sure to screenshot any memories you want to keep. Overall, deleting a friend achieves Snapchat’s ephemeral nature by erasing your connection and letting you start over if you ever re-add them.
