How many of you guys have been in a situation when your heart starts pumping rapidly because you have sent some wrong snap to the wrong person. It is a wish for most of the users that they could have been able to delete a sent snap by themselves if it has not been viewed at that time.
The deepness of the issue depends on the type of snap you sent on Snapchat. The more private the data you send, the bigger issue you face.
As per the Snapchat policy, any user can not delete a sent message even if it is not yet seen by the receiver.

To clear all your doubts regarding deleting a sent snap on Snapchat we are here with our all advanced and researched guide.
Q.1 Does Unfriend the user work?
At the very first, your question may depend on different factors such as how close the user is to you, what was the type of snap you sent, and what will be the resulting probability.
Ignoring those factors, we worked on this to find out whether it works or not. We sent a snap to someone and instantly tried to unfriend that person on Snapchat. But it was found that the snap was available on that person’s account and one could easily view that message.
The result will be that he will not be available to reply to your snap as you had unfriended him.
Q.2 Does Blocking the user work?
This time also the process depends on some circumstances that include how your relationship was with that person, how sensitive your snap was, and what are the possibilities to happen.
If we put out these conditions, then we can go through our research. Our team members tried to send a snap to a person and, sending the message, he blocked the person to check whether the trick works or not.
The answer was no, even blocking the person doesn’t work now to prevent the message from being transferred. It is also true that this trick worked for some time in the early days but Snapchat has quickly recovered and fixed the glitch.
Logging out from your Snapchat account also doesn’t work
Another possible solution for this issue that came into our thoughts was logging out from the Snapchat account. On other platforms, this trick has been nearly successful but Snapchat does not allow this trick due to security issues.
Our team logged out from its Snapchat account as soon as it sent a message to a user but it was identified that the message was successfully sent and was available to view on the user’s device.
Q.3 What if we turn off our network connection?
This is the most common idea that comes to our mind after sending an inappropriate message to someone.
Turning off your internet connection will prevent the message to be sent then but as soon as your device gets network coverage, the snap will be automatically sent to the person and then there is no way to look back.
Final thoughts
All the methods we read above are the common things we use to avoid an inappropriate snap being sent to a person. But the fact is that Snapchat does not allow to unsend a snap once sent, by any tips and tricks.
The snap can only be deleted by the receiver.
