How to get rid of my AI on Snapchat?
You can't fully delete My AI, but you can hide it: swipe right to Chat, press and hold My AI, tap Chat & Notification Settings, then Unpin Conversation and Clear from Chat Feed. This is free — Snapchat+ is no longer required. My AI may return if you message it again.
Why — the first-principles explanation
My AI is a native Snapchat feature, pinned to your Chat feed by the company, not a friend you chose to add. That's why there's no 'delete forever' button — Snap keeps the assistant available as part of the product. What you can do is control whether it shows up in your feed.
Getting rid of it comes in two moves. Unpinning drops it from the sticky spot at the top of your Chat list. Clearing from Chat Feed removes the whole conversation thread so it's out of sight. Together these make My AI effectively disappear from your day-to-day view.
When My AI first launched in 2023, hiding it required a paid Snapchat+ subscription, which frustrated many users. Snap has since opened these controls to everyone, so today the steps are free. Just note two things: clearing the thread does not erase the data you already shared (that's a separate 'Clear My AI Data' action), and if you tap or message the assistant later, it can reappear at the top of your feed.
An example that makes it click
It's like a pre-installed app you can't uninstall but can shove into a folder off your home screen. You don't see it, it stops nagging you, but it's technically still on the phone. If you tap it again by accident, it pops right back to the front.
So 'getting rid of' My AI is really 'putting it away.' You unpin it and clear it from view — quick, free, and reversible — but you're tidying it out of sight, not throwing it in the trash for good.
How to do it
- Open Snapchat and swipe right from the Camera to the Chat screen.
- Press and hold the 'My AI' conversation.
- Tap 'Chat & Notification Settings'.
- Tap 'Unpin Conversation' to remove it from the top of the feed.
- Repeat the long-press and tap 'Clear from Chat Feed' to hide the whole thread.
- Optional: use Settings > Clear My AI Data to erase what you've shared.
Key facts
- My AI cannot be permanently deleted; it is a built-in feature.
- You can Unpin it and Clear it from the Chat feed to hide it.
- Hiding My AI is now free and no longer requires Snapchat+ (it did at launch in 2023).
- Clearing the thread does not delete the data you shared — use 'Clear My AI Data' for that.
- My AI can reappear at the top of the feed if you message it again.
▶ The 60-second explainer (script)
Tired of My AI sitting at the top of your Snapchat? You can't delete it completely, but you can get it out of your face — and it's free now. Swipe right from the Camera to your Chat screen. Press and hold on My AI, then tap Chat and Notification Settings. Tap Unpin Conversation to knock it off the top spot. Then long-press again and tap Clear from Chat Feed to hide the whole thread. Done — no Snapchat Plus required, even though that used to be the case back in 2023. Two things to know. First, this only hides it; it doesn't erase what you told it. For that, go to Settings and tap Clear My AI Data. Second, if you message My AI again later, it'll come right back to the top of your feed. So think of it as putting it away, not permanently deleting it.
