What is what happens when you delete your snapchat account?

Deleting your Snapchat account is a permanent action with the following consequences:

  • Account Deactivation: Initially, your account is deactivated for 30 days. During this period, your friends won't be able to contact you on Snapchat.

  • Account Deletion: After the 30-day deactivation period, your account will be permanently deleted. This means:

    • Friends List Removal: Your account will be removed from your friends' Snapchat accounts.
    • Data Deletion: Snapchat will start the process of deleting your account data, including your profile information, messages, Snaps, stories, and location data. However, some data might be retained for legal, security, or business reasons, as outlined in Snapchat's Privacy Policy.
    • Username Availability: Your username might become available for others to use in the future.
  • Reactivation Option: During the 30-day deactivation period, you can reactivate your account by simply logging back in. Reactivating will cancel the deletion process. After the 30-day period, reactivation is no longer possible.

  • Snapchat Memories: Be aware that if you have backed up your Snapchat%20Memories to Snapchat's servers, deleting your account will also remove those memories permanently. Download any memories you want to keep before deleting your account.
