Snapchat Deleting Chats 24 Hours After Viewing? Change This Setting
Messages sent on Snapchat are usually deleted after they've been viewed once, but if for some reason chats are being deleted 24 hours after viewing, there's a way to reverse that. One of the reasons why Snapchat is different from other messaging apps is because it doesn't save chats in a user's inbox. In fact, Snapchat's servers are designed to automatically delete chats after they've been viewed by everyone in a chat. The servers also delete messages sent in group chats one day after everyone has viewed them, or one week after they've been sent – whichever comes first.
Because chat history is automatically erased on Snapchat, it allows for uninhibited conversations among friends. Other people in the chat are also notified if a user takes a screenshot, adding another level of privacy. However, users do have the option to save a message in a chat by just tapping on it. A saved message is displayed with a grey background so that all the other people in the chat also know it's been saved.
