To delete a Snapchat account, follow these steps:
On Android or Desktop:
- Open a web browser and go to https://accounts.snapchat.com.
- Log in with the username and password of the Snapchat account you want to delete.
- Scroll down and click on "Delete my account."
- Enter your username and password again to confirm.
- Click "Continue." Your account will then be deactivated.
On iOS (using the Snapchat app):
- Open the Snapchat app and tap the profile icon at the top-left corner.
- Tap the gear icon for Settings.
- Scroll down to the Support section and tap "I Need Help."
- Navigate to "My Account & Security" > "Account Information" > "Delete My Account."
- Follow the on-screen instructions and confirm by entering your username and password.
- Tap "Continue." Your account will be deactivated.
After deactivation, Snapchat holds the account in a "deactivated" state for 30 days. If you do not log in during this period, your account will be permanently deleted. Logging in within the 30-day window will reactivate the account and cancel the deletion process.
