Although many thought it was dead, Snapchat has continued to grow relentlessly this year. While at the beginning of 2021 it surpassed 250 million daily users, shortly before summer the app began approaching 300 million . Furthermore, around that time, Snapchat launched Spotlight in Spain , a feature that allows creators to earn money on the platform.
Simply uninstalling the app from your phone is not enough to delete a Snapchat profile.
Despite this app’s growing success, you may have had enough of it and are thinking about deleting your profile. First of all, you should know that simply deleting the app from your phone won’t delete your Snapchat account.
Here are the steps you need to follow to permanently remove your profile from Snapchat:
Before deleting Snapchat: You may want to download and save all your stored data before deleting your profile. To do this, you must have your Snapchat account linked to a verified email address. Also, be aware that this data download can only be done through the website accounts.snapchat.com, and never through the app.
Then, log in to the aforementioned website. As soon as you log in, a verification code will be sent to you to verify your identity. Once verified, go to the “My Data” tab and then click “Send Request” at the bottom. After submitting the request, a ZIP file containing all your Snapchat data will be sent to your email.
-Account Settings: To begin deleting your profile, you must access the account settings tab on the website mentioned above. Once there, scroll to the bottom, where you will find a yellow sign that says “Delete my account.”
-What does deleting your profile mean? When you click on this sign, the website will tell you the steps you need to follow to delete your account. It will also inform you that you can reactivate your account within 30 days. After that time, if you don’t log in to Snapchat again, your profile will be deleted, leaving you no option to recover it.
Snapchat lets you add music to Snaps —to compete with TikTok—and YouTube videos as stickers . The company has also opened an office in Madrid .
