How to Remove Recent from Snapchat
Snapchat, the popular social media platform known for its ephemeral nature, has a feature called “Recent” that displays the people you’ve chatted with recently. While this feature can be convenient for staying in touch with friends, some users may prefer to remove it for privacy reasons or to declutter their Snapchat experience. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps on how to remove recent from Snapchat on both iOS and Android devices.
Removing Recent from Snapchat on iOS
1. Open the Snapchat app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap on the “Settings” icon located at the top right corner of the screen.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Recent” to access the recent conversations settings.
4. Toggle the “Show My Recent” switch to the off position. This will hide your recent conversations from the Recent section.
5. If you want to remove recent from everyone’s Snapchat, go back to the main Settings menu, scroll down to “My Friends,” and toggle the “Show My Recent” switch to the off position as well.
Removing Recent from Snapchat on Android

Additional Tips
– If you have any specific friends whose recent conversations you want to remove, you can do so by swiping left on their name in the Recent section and tapping on “Remove.”
– Remember that removing recent from Snapchat will only affect your own device. Other users will still see your recent conversations unless they also follow the same steps to remove recent from their Snapchat app.
– If you decide to turn off the “Show My Recent” feature and later change your mind, simply follow the same steps and toggle the switch back to the on position.
By following these simple steps, you can easily remove recent from Snapchat and enjoy a more private or clutter-free experience on the platform.
