Snapchat’s My AI—a chatbot powered by OpenAI’s GPT—has been a polarizing feature since its launch. While some users enjoy its personalized recommendations, ideas, and quirky interactions, others find it intrusive or unnecessary.
If you’re part of the latter group, you might be searching for how to get rid of Snapchat AI to declutter your chat feed or address privacy concerns – but your options depend on whether you have Snapchat Plus.
This guide will show you how to delete or disable My AI on Snapchat, why it may not be removable for all users, and whether it’s safe to use.
If you don’t have Snapchat Plus, you’ll also learn possible workarounds to reduce its presence.
How to Delete My AI on Snapchat
For Snapchat+ Subscribers
- Open Snapchat and navigate to the Chat tab.
- Long-press the My AI chat at the top of your feed.
- Select Manage Friendship > Remove friend.
- Confirm by tapping Remove.
This removes My AI from your chat list entirely.
For Non-Snapchat+ Users
You can’t fully delete My AI, but you can:
Clear chat from the feed:
- Go to the Chat section > tap and hold “My Ai” to bring out options > Chat and Notification Settings > Clear from chat feed.
- Tap “Clear” to confirm the action.
This removes the AI from your chat list but it can still be assessed using the search button.
Unpin the chat:
- Open your chats > Open “My A.I” chat > Tap on the header to visit the customize section > Chat and Notification Settings > Unpin Conversation.
Report Account
Reporting the account is another effective way to get rid of Snapchat Ai from your account. You can do this by:
- Go to the Chat tab
- Open “My Ai” chat > go to the account profile
- You’ll see the “report this account” button at the bottom of the page, click on it
- Choose a reason for the report. Add a comment to the report (optional) and submit.
- Now, click on “Block” to block the Ai from your list.
Viola.
How Do I Turn Off Snapchat AI?
If you can’t delete My AI, you can reduce its activity:
- Mute Notifications – Go to My AI’s chat, tap the three-dot menu, select “Chat Settings,” and mute notifications.
- Limit Interactions – Avoid engaging with it; it won’t appear frequently.
- Clear Conversations – Periodically clear My AI’s chat to remove its messages from your feed.
- Clear chat from Feed – Follow the above instructions to clear the “My Ai” chat from your feed and avoid any interaction with it.
- Restrict Permissions – Disable location access in Snapchat settings to prevent My AI from using location-based suggestions.
- Block My AI
Why Can’t I Delete My AI on Snapchat?
Snapchat has made My AI a core feature, limiting full removal to Snapchat+ subscribers.
Here’s why:
- Monetization strategy: Snapchat+ offers exclusive perks, including AI removal, to incentivize subscriptions.
- Technical glitches: Bugs occasionally block deletion. Try updating the app or contacting support.
What Is the AI on Snapchat For?
My AI serves three primary functions:
- Personalized recommendations: Suggests restaurants, gifts, or travel plans based on your chat history.
- Creative tools: Generates poems, filters, lenses, or Bitmoji outfits.
- Social engagement: Answers questions in group chats when tagged with “@My AI.”
While these features can be fun, they rely on data collection, which raises privacy questions.
How to Remove AI Without Snapchat Plus
If you don’t have Snapchat Plus, you can’t officially delete My AI, but you can try these workarounds:
- Ignore It – The less you engage, the less it appears in your chats.
- Move It Down the Chat List – Chat with friends frequently so My AI moves lower in your chat feed.
- Clear conversation from feed– This removes its messages from your feed, keeping your chat list clean.
- Use an Older Version of Snapchat – If possible, downgrade to an older app version where My AI wasn’t forced into chat.
Is Snapchat My AI Safe?
Snapchat claims My AI is safe, but there are privacy concerns:
- Data collection: Snapchat stores your conversations to train its AI, which could include sensitive details like location or interests.
- Content risks: Tests show the bot sometimes shares harmful advice, despite Snapchat’s filters.
- Privacy settings: Location sharing is off by default, but the app still tracks usage patterns.
- Unpredictable response: like any AI, its responses aren’t always reliable.
If you’re concerned about privacy, limit what you share with My AI and disable location access in Snapchat settings.
