What is the procedure to send a private snap from the mobile app?

Being able to send a private message is a highly desirable feature in any social networking app. Snapchat offers its users that opportunity. There are messages that we only want to share with someone in particular even though we have many contacts on the network. Here’s how to do it.

Sign in to Snapchat, then create a snap, then tap the blue circle with a white arrow at the bottom of the ‘send to’ screen. The options to send to all contacts, group of friends, etc. will appear . As in this case it is private or for someone in particular, select the person’s name and click on the white circle with the blue arrow and your message will be sent.

How can I unsend my Snapchat message?

Due to the ease and speed with which we can send messages on Snapchat, many times we make the mistake of sending a message to someone wrong or with content that we did not want. Luckily we can void your delivery if we act quickly, that’s one of the advantages of Snapchat . We will show three ways to do it.

with airplane mode

Proceed to activate the airplane mode on your mobile , this could be the fastest option that we can resort to. This feature prevents the execution of any action on the device by preventing Snapchat from uploading the message and sending it.

turn off Wi-Fi

If your Internet connection is a Wi-Fi network, proceed to disconnect it from your device. If it is within your reach, disconnect the router from the electrical connection to act more quickly. Also make sure that your mobile does not have Internet data activated.

Delete the message from your history

If any of the previous actions had positive results, the message will remain as pending to send in the sending history. Now we have the opportunity to permanently delete it by deleting all messages from that chat. Remember that the important thing in these cases is to act quickly. There is also the possibility that your internet connection is slow and it takes time to load and send the message which will give you time to act.

What can I do so that my contact does not read the message that I already sent him?

Snapchat automatically deletes already read messages in personal or group chats. As long as the message has not been read, it will remain in the recipient’s tray until the recipient reads it. This in turn will give you time to delete it from the chat history.

An unread message can be deleted if it belongs to a particular chat. If the message is sent in a group chat, then we can only delete it for everyone in the group and not for someone in particular. To delete a message and prevent my contact from reading it if they haven’t already done so, simply press on the message for a few moments and the Delete option will appear. We select and ready.

We must also take into account that Snapchat sends a notification to the contact that we delete the message. So this will realize the action we have performed.

As we have seen, canceling the sending of a message on Snapchat is simple and fast, without many complications and it is not necessary to have advanced knowledge. So, if you haven’t already, download and install Snapchat  and enjoy its features and share great moments with your friends.
