Should You Save Chats on Snapchat?

Unless you save them, messages in Chat will only stick around until both parties have viewed them. Once you leave the Chat screen, unsaved messages vanish forever. Using this trick to save your messages means you'll be able to hold onto important messages for as long as you like. To un-save a message, tap it once.

What happens if you don't save a message on Snapchat?

Unopened Chats

The chats that you haven't opened will be automatically deleted after a month. This is not such a bad thing because 30 days is more than enough time to open the chat if you are really interested in it.

When someone saves your Chat on Snapchat?

If you see a message with a grey background, it has been saved by either you or your contact. Messages you save will have a vertical red bar to the left of them, while messages saved by friends have a blue bar next to them. You can save a chat message by tapping and holding it.
