How to remove my AI on Snapchat without Snapchat plus?
You no longer need Snapchat+ to remove My AI. Any user can hide it: swipe right to Chat, press and hold My AI, tap Chat & Notification Settings, then Unpin Conversation and Clear from Chat Feed. It's free. You can't delete the feature forever, and it can return if you message it again.
Why — the first-principles explanation
When My AI rolled out in early 2023, Snap only let Snapchat+ subscribers remove it from their Chat feed. That paywall on a basic 'hide' control drew heavy criticism, and Snap later opened the controls to everyone. So the premise of this question — that you need a workaround to dodge Snapchat+ — is now outdated: the normal path is already free.
The mechanism is simple because My AI is just a pinned conversation. Unpinning removes its reserved slot at the top of the feed; 'Clear from Chat Feed' removes the thread entirely from view. Neither action requires payment, and both live in the same long-press menu any user can reach.
What you can't do — with or without Snapchat+ — is permanently delete My AI so it never exists again. It's a core feature of the app. Hiding it is reversible: message it and it comes back. If your real goal is privacy, the separate 'Clear My AI Data' control (also free) is what actually erases the history you shared, which Snap says can take up to 30 days to remove from servers.
An example that makes it click
Picture a club that used to charge a cover just to move to a quieter table. People complained, so now the move is free for everyone. That's what happened here — the 'hide My AI' feature stopped being a paid perk.
So you don't need a secret trick to skip Snapchat+. You walk up, press and hold My AI, and clear it from your feed — no ticket, no membership. The only thing money never bought was making the club itself disappear.
How to do it
- Open Snapchat and swipe right to the Chat screen.
- Press and hold the 'My AI' conversation.
- Tap 'Chat & Notification Settings'.
- Tap 'Unpin Conversation'.
- Long-press again and tap 'Clear from Chat Feed' to hide the thread — no Snapchat+ needed.
- For privacy, also tap 'Clear My AI Data' in Settings to erase your history.
Key facts
- Removing/hiding My AI is free and does NOT require Snapchat+ as of 2026.
- Snapchat+ was required to remove My AI when it first launched in 2023.
- Unpin + Clear from Chat Feed are the two free controls that hide it.
- The feature can't be permanently deleted and may reappear if you message it.
- Clear My AI Data (also free) erases shared history; can take up to 30 days on servers.
▶ The 60-second explainer (script)
Good news: you do not need Snapchat Plus to remove My AI anymore. When it first launched in 2023, only paying subscribers could hide it — and people were not happy. Snap changed that, so now it's free for everyone. Here's how. Swipe right from the Camera to your Chat screen. Press and hold on My AI, then tap Chat and Notification Settings. Tap Unpin Conversation, then long-press again and tap Clear from Chat Feed. That's it — no subscription, no workaround. Two quick notes. You still can't delete My AI forever; it's a built-in feature and will come back if you message it. And if you care about privacy, there's a separate free option, Clear My AI Data, in your settings, that wipes what you told it. That deletion can take up to 30 days on Snapchat's servers.
