If you’ve ever had a Snapchat story deleted, you know how frustrating it can be. If you’re like most people, you probably delete your stories every day because they get old and boring. But if you don’t delete your stories, they’ll eventually get deleted from your Snapchat app and you’ll never see them again. Here’s how to delete a snap from your Snapchat story:

  1. Open the Snapchat app and sign in.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select “Deleting snaps.”
  3. Type in the name of the snap that you want to delete and hit “delete.”
  4. The snap will be deleted from your Snapchat account and will no longer appear on your screen.

Snapchat’s Story feature is a great way to share what’s going on in your life right now with your friends. The problem is, because it’s integrated with Snapchat’s regular messaging, it’s very easy to accidentally post a Snap to your story that was meant for someone specific. Obviously, that can get embarrassing, fast…not that I’d know.
