Snapchat’s newest feature, My AI, has brought about mixed reviews from users. The in-app chatbot that uses artificial intelligence to chat with users has been praised for its multilingual capabilities, while some users have raised concerns regarding the element of privacy and usability. If you’re a Snapchat user and looking to delete the My AI feature, here’s a guide to help you.
My AI has been characterized as intrusive by some, and deemed unnecessary by others who believe that its deletion will elevate their Snapchat experience. It’s worth noting that its deletion option is only available to Snapchat Plus subscribers.
To remove My AI, first, open Snapchat, then click on your profile. Upon entering your Snapchat settings, scroll down until you find ‘Privacy controls,’ then select it. Following this, tap on the ‘Clear data’ option and finally, you’ll find ‘Clear conversations’ where you can locate My AI. Clicking the ‘X’ next to it and confirming your action will permanently remove My AI from your chat feed.
For those who do not want to wholly delete My AI but simply want to unpeg it from Snapchat, it can be unpinned which will remove it from the top of your Chat list.
While unpinning or deleting My AI removes it from immediate view, Snapchat users can restrict My AI’s access to their personal stories in order to maintain privacy. By disabling its access, Snapchat users retain more control over their personal account. Additionally, conversations and data associated with My AI can be cleared if users want to remove all traces of past interactions with the chatbot, although the information cleared will only be from past interactions.
To ensure control over privacy, Snapchat enables users to turn off My AI’s access to their stories and to delete specific conversations where My AI was mentioned.
Questions have been raised about the ability to delete My AI if one is not a Snapchat Plus subscriber. Unfortunately, the deletion of My AI is only available for Snapchat Plus members. Deleting My AI does not remove all Snapchat conversations; it will only erase the chatbot from the chat feed.
To conclude, Snapchat’s My AI chatbot has attracted a variety of user reactions. For those who wish to delete My AI from Snapchat, the instructions provided here are thorough and easy to follow. Snapchat offers various options to secure privacy and control all interactions, key aspects that are vital for any user experience.
