Ready to say goodbye to disappearing messages and streaks? Sometimes, a digital detox is just what you need! Deleting your Snapchat account is a permanent decision, so make sure you're ready to say farewell to your snaps, stories, and friends list.
So, how do you actually do it? It's a two-step process:
1. **Deactivation:** First, you'll deactivate your account. This puts your account in a suspended state for 30 days. During this time, your friends won't be able to contact you on Snapchat.
2. **Permanent Deletion (Automatic):** If you don't log back in within those 30 days, your account will be permanently deleted. Poof! Gone forever.
To deactivate (and ultimately delete) your account, go to Snapchat's Accounts Portal either via the app or on a web browser. Follow the prompts to delete your account. You'll need your username and password. Snapchat will then guide you through the process. Remember, once deleted, there's no turning back! Consider downloading your data before you take the plunge.
