Oops! Sent a Snap You Regret? Here's How to Delete Snapchat Messages

We've all been there. That accidental snap sent to the wrong person, or that message you wish you could take back. Luckily, Snapchat offers a way to (sort of) undo your digital mishaps. The good news? You can delete messages you've sent. The not-so-good news? There are a few caveats.

Here's the lowdown on deleting Snapchat messages:

* **Long Press to Delete:** Simply long-press the message you want to delete. A pop-up will appear giving you the option to 'Delete'. Tap it.
* **Limited Power:** Deleting a message only removes it from *your* phone and *Snapchat's* servers. If the recipient has already seen the message, it's too late! They'll still have that visual burned into their memory (or screenshot on their phone).
* **The Notification Gamble:** Snapchat will notify the recipient that you deleted a message. So, while they won't see the content, they *will* know you deleted something, potentially sparking curiosity or suspicion.

Deleting Snapchat messages is a useful feature for damage control, but remember it's not a perfect solution. Think before you snap!
