Delete Your Snapchat Messages
Snapchat only lets you clear one message at a time: press and hold, delete, confirm, then do it again. Redact clears the chat messages you've sent in bulk. Connect once, pick the conversations to clean, and Redact works through them and deletes the messages you sent for you.
Free for your last 30 days of messages.

Snapchat isn't as temporary as it feels
Snaps are built to vanish, but chat messages are a different story. Saved messages, and messages in group chats, sit in your conversations long after you've forgotten them.
Saved messages don't disappear
Any chat message you or the other person saved stays pinned in the conversation indefinitely. It's the part of your history that outlives Snapchat's timers, and the part worth clearing.
Old messages resurface out of context
Anything you sent can be read again, screenshotted, or brought up years later. Removing it from your side is the cleanest way to limit where it can turn up.
Snapchat won't bulk-delete for you
Natively you can only delete one message at a time. Redact clears the messages you've sent across every conversation you pick in a single pass.
Clear the messages you've sent
Redact opens Snapchat Web, works through the conversations you pick, and deletes the messages you sent inside them. It only touches your own messages. The ones the other person sent are left alone, and the conversation thread itself stays in place. Clean your whole history or tick specific threads, and set a date range to scope the run.
- Your sent messages
- Conversations you pick
- By date range
- On-device
Preview, delete, or schedule
Preview Mode
See exactly which messages match before a single one is removed. Best for a first pass.
Deletion Mode
Remove every message that matches your date range once you're happy with the preview.
Schedule Deletion
Re-run the cleanup on a recurring schedule so your sent messages don't pile back up.

Frequently asked questions
Install Redact, sign in to Snapchat, and pick the conversations to clean. Hit Select All for your whole history, or choose specific threads. Leave the date range open to clear every message you've sent, or set a window to target a subset, then run a Preview and start the deletion.
No. Redact only removes the messages you sent yourself. The messages other people sent are left in place, and the conversation thread itself stays on your list, just without your old messages in it.
When you delete a message you sent, Snapchat removes it from the chat and shows both people that a message was deleted. Anyone who already viewed or screenshotted it may still have their own copy.
Yes. Set a start date, an end date, or both to clear only the messages from a specific window, and leave the range open to remove everything you've sent.
Downloading Redact is free, and clearing your last 30 days of messages is free too. To delete messages older than 30 days, you'll need a paid plan.
