Can you delete messages on Snapchat that someone else saved?
The answer is yes, but it will require you to delete the conversation on your end and hope that the receiver has not taken a screenshot.
Although Snapchat has a feature for automatically deleting messages after some period of time depending on your settings. Also, if you send a funny photo or video to your friend and they save it, one of you can delete it manually.

FAQ
Does blocking someone unsave the messages that they saved?
The answer is no. Blocking someone on Snapchat does not prevent them from viewing the messages they previously saved.
If you block a friend, they will not be able to send you Snapchats or chats. They also won’t be able to see your story anymore. And the good news is that your snap score will remain the same.
However, if someone has saved a message, screenshot it, or taken a photo of it before you block them then they still have access to it after you have blocked them.
Can I unsave multiple messages at a time?
Currently, there is no way to unsave Snapchat messages in bulk. The only way to do it is to unsave them one by one.
To unsave a message, just press and hold on to the message and tap the ‘Unsave in Chat’ button. The message will be unsaved immediately.
Does removing a friend deleted saved messages?
Saved messages do not get deleted when you remove a friend. It only stops that person from sending you snaps and messages and viewing your stories.
A message is only removed if the sender or receiver removes it manually by tapping and holding on the message or conversation and selecting ‘Delete’.
The chat history will remain in your accounts and that of your friends’ even if you delete yourselves.
Does deleting my Snapchat account remove from the saved messages?
Deleting your Snapchat account does not delete saved messages. The only way to take messages with you is by deleting them first using one of the methods we’ve described above.
But it is important to know that your account is your responsibility until it is deleted, and it will be deleted only when you request for it. Just like any other social networking site, this is a user-driven content platform, and the company will not delete anything from your account unless asked to do so by the owner of that account.
For Snapchat accounts (and every other online account), deleting is irreversible, and there is no way to get back the data once it’s gone.
How can I prevent others from saving my Snapchat messages?
Snapchat messages are deleted by default from Snapchat’s servers after they’re viewed. They can be saved, however, by taking a screenshot of the conversation. There’s no way to prevent someone from doing this.
You can try to stop others from recording your Snapchat messages by asking them not to do so and letting them know that you’ll know if they do. If they don’t respect your wishes, you will likely have to stop using Snapchat with them altogether.
What does ‘Clear from Chat Feed’ do on Snapchat?
Snapchat has a feature called ‘Clear from Chat Feed’ also known as ‘Clear Conversation’. Once you use this feature, it will clear all the messages sent between you and your friends in a chat. You can’t recover any of them after using this feature.
Clear from Chat Feed is found on the Snapchat Friends page under Chat settings. The words are in red color. Once you tap the button, all the messages in the chat will be cleared. This feature is useful if there are too many messages in a chat and you want to save some disk space or clean up an old chat that’s no longer useful for you.
Wrapping Up
Snapchat is a great way to share photos with your friends, but we all make mistakes. Maybe you sent one of your less-than-flattering selfies, or perhaps you accidentally posted a photo of the company dog at an inappropriate time.
Well, whatever the reason, the good news is that there are ways to delete photos and videos from Snapchat. The bad news? Unless you’re sure the person who has your content hasn’t opened it or screenshot it yet, you can’t get it back!
