Question

Does 'opened on Snapchat' mean the person has read my message?

River

Community Answer

Yes, it means that the person has looked at the message and read it. You'll be able to see if someone opened your snap because it will say 'Opened.'

Question

Why does a Snapchat I sent say it's delivered? How long does it take for it to say it was opened?

Community Answer

A Snap is deemed as "delivered" when it is, in fact, delivered. The time that it takes for the Snap to say that it was opened depends on when the person you sent the Snap to decides to open it.

Question

Can I delete a personal picture I sent to the wrong person?

Community Answer

No. Once snaps are sent and seen, they disappear unless the recipient screenshots them.

Question

If I use the airplane mode method to secretly read a Snap, after I delete my snap account and re-load it will my saved history with that person also be deleted?

Community Answer

No. Saved messages are stored server-side for Snap. I believe the only way to get rid of the saved messages is to unsave them or to delete your Snapchat account.

Question

Can someone see if I watched their public story?

Community Answer

Yes. It shows names in order of who has seen their story, and if you watch it again after the first time, your name will shoot back up to the top of the list.

Question

How can I clear messages without my friend knowing?

Community Answer

The only way to delete a snap or message without your friend knowing is to delete your Snapchat account before your friend opens what you’ve sent, and after that, you can make an excuse as to why you deleted your account.

Question

What do I do if a friend on Snapchat disappeared from my friends list but they're not blocked or unfriended?

Community Answer

They may have blocked or unfriended you, because you won't get a notification that they have done so.

Question

How can I read an old Snapchat conversation without the other person knowing?

Community Answer

The Snap is counted as "read" the first time you read it. The other person will not be notified if you're reading it again.

Question

Why does a two-number score appear when I tap the score in my profile? What do the numbers signify?

Community Answer

Those numbers represent the number of snaps you sent, the amount of snaps that you received, the amount of stories you posted, and other things.

Question

How does Snapchat find all my old contacts?

Community Answer

Give snapchat permission to access your contacts list when you first sign up. Then you'll find your old contacts.

Question

Why does a message say' delivered' and then maybe 3 hours pass and then it says opened 3 hours ago. Is it because they read it in airplane mode?

Community Answer

That just means that they have not responded. "Opened" simply means that the recipient has recieved it. If they had read it in airplane mode, it would still just say "delivered."
