How to view messages on Snapchat

Snapchat is an instant messaging application that allows users to share photos and videos with their friends. However, unlike other messaging apps, messages on Snapchat are only available for a short period of time before they disappear.

This makes using Snapchat very different from other similar applications like WhatsApp or Messenger. Additionally, Snapchat has many interesting features such as Stories, Lenses, and Snap Map that make it even more fun to use.

How does Snapchat work?

To use Snapchat, you need to create an account and add your friends. Once you have added friends, you can start sending them photos and videos called "Snaps". When you send a Snap, you can set the duration during which the recipient can view it (from 1 to 10 seconds).

In addition, you can also send text messages and make audio or video calls through the app. Messages and calls on Snapchat are end-to-end encrypted to ensure conversation security.

How to see messages on Snapchat?

Messages on Snapchat are only available for a short period of time before they disappear. However, there is a solution to view messages after they have been deleted.

To see messages on Snapchat, you need to use a feature called "Memories". Memories are a private storage space within the application where you can save your Snaps and Stories.

When you send a Snap, you can choose whether to save it in your Memory or not. If you save the Snap in your Memory, you can view it at any time, even after the recipient has seen it and after it has been deleted from the chat.

To access your Memories on Snapchat, open the application and tap the white circle icon in the lower corner of the main screen. Here you will find all your saved Memories and can select the one that contains the message you want to view.

• Open the Snapchat application
• Tap the white circle icon in the lower corner of the main screen
• Select the Memory containing the message you want to view
• Search for the message in Memory and open it to view it

This way, you can see messages on Snapchat even after they have been deleted from the chat. However, remember that this feature does not work with Snaps sent as "Streaks" or "Live", as these Snaps cannot be saved in Memories.

How to view messages on Snapchat

After opening the Snapchat app, you can view received messages in two different ways:

1. Viewing messages directly from chat

To view a message received directly from chat, follow these simple steps:

• Open the chat with the contact who sent you the message;
• Tap on the message to open and read it;
• To reply to the message, type your response in the text bar and tap "Send".

2. Viewing unread messages

Unread messages are highlighted by a red notification next to the contact's name on the app's main screen. To view unread messages, follow these simple steps:

• Tap on the contact icon with the red notification next to their name;
• Open the chat with the contact and tap on the message to open and read it;
• To reply to the message, type your response in the text bar and tap "Send".

Remember that messages on Snapchat automatically disappear after being viewed or after 24 hours from their publication in stories.

How to recover deleted messages on Snapchat

If you have accidentally deleted a message on Snapchat, don't worry! There is still a chance to recover it. Here's how:

Step 1: Log out of Snapchat

The first step to recover deleted messages on Snapchat is to log out of the application. To do so, follow these simple steps:

• Open the Snapchat app on your device.
• Tap on your profile at the top of the screen.
• Tap on the gear icon at the top right to access your account settings.
• Scroll down and tap "Log Out".

Step 2: Access your device's file system

After logging out of Snapchat, you need to access your device's file system. There are several applications that you can use to do this, such as ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.

Step 3: Navigate to the Snapchat folder

Navigate to the Snapchat folder in your device's file system. The location of the folder depends on your device's operating system:

Android:
• Go to the "data" folder in the root of your device.
• Look for the "com.snapchat.android" folder.
iOS:
• Go to the "Applications" folder in the root of your device.
• Look for the "Snapchat" folder.

Step 4: Find the deleted messages file

Within the Snapchat folder, look for a file named "cache". Inside this folder, you should find a file called "received_image_snaps". This file contains all the messages you have received on Snapchat, including deleted ones.

Step 5: Recover deleted messages

Once you have found the deleted messages file, you can open it with a text editor and search for the messages you want to recover. Copy and paste the text into another application or save it on another device to keep it safe.

Remember that this method only works if you haven't already cleared Snapchat's cache from your device. Additionally, it is important to note that accessing your device's file system may void the manufacturer's warranty, so proceed with caution.

How to Avoid Losing Messages on Snapchat

To avoid losing messages on Snapchat, there are some precautions you can take:

• Turn on push notifications: this way you will receive a notification every time someone sends you a message on Snapchat. To turn on push notifications, go to the app settings and select "Notifications".
• Save important messages: if you have received an important message that you don't want to lose, save it in the chat. To do this, press and hold the message and select "Save in Chat". This way, the message will be saved in the chat and won't be lost.
• Use the "Memories" feature: Snapchat's "Memories" feature allows you to save photos and videos on the platform permanently. This way, if something happens to your phone or the application, you won't lose those contents. To use the "Memories" feature, touch the ghost icon at the top left of the main screen and select "Memories".
• Back up your data: to avoid losing all your messages on Snapchat (and not just those), it's always better to back up your data regularly. You can do this via iCloud (on iPhone) or Google Drive (on Android). This way, if something happens to your phone or the application, you can recover all your data.

By following these tips, you'll be able to avoid losing messages on Snapchat and maintain effective communication with your friends.

Conclusions and Final Tips for Using Snapchat

In this article, we've seen how to view messages on Snapchat, both sent and received. However, it's important to remember that respecting the privacy of other users is essential in every situation.

Using these techniques to spy on someone's messages could have negative consequences on personal and professional relationships. Therefore, it's always better to avoid violating others' privacy and respect Snapchat's rules.

Furthermore, if you want to maintain your privacy on Snapchat, you can use some features provided by the application itself, such as setting ghost mode or limiting who can send messages.

Finally, we remind you that Snapchat is a fun and creative application that allows users to share special moments with friends and family. Using it correctly can bring many benefits and improve personal relationships.

In summary, it's important to use Snapchat while respecting the privacy of other users and the rules of the application itself.
