How to delete Snapchat on iOS

How to delete Snapchat on Android or the web
- Go to the accounts portal.
- Select the account you want to delete.
- Enter the username and password.
- Follow the steps to delete your account.
The account will be deactivated for 30 days. During that period, no one will be able to contact or interact with you on Snapchat. If you change your mind, you have those 30 days to reactivate your account by logging in. After 30 days, you won't be able to log in anymore and the deletion process will take another 30 days, after which your account and all data will be permanently deleted.
