- In Snapchat app, go the Chats screen by tapping on the chat icon at the bottom left.
- Go to the chat of the friend where you wish to remove the message.
- Now, press and hold the message you want to delete until you see a menu with a few options.
- Tap on Delete followed by Delete once more to confirm.
Similarly, you can cancel sent (and not delivered yet) messages even in groups.
You can also use it to delete any other media you sent like photos, videos, etc.
