Summary by Editor:

Snapchat’s “My AI” chatbot is pinned by default for free users and cannot be removed or unpinned without Snapchat+.
The options “Unpin Conversation” and “Clear from Chat Feed” are only available to Snapchat+ subscribers.
Unpinning My AI only removes it from the top of the chat list; it does not delete or disable the chatbot.
Snapchat’s AI editing tools (like filters or background effects) are separate from the chatbot and cannot be fully disabled.
To delete AI chat data on iOS: Profile > Settings > Privacy Controls > Clear Data > “Delete My AI Data”.
To delete AI chat data on Android: Profile > Settings > Account Actions > “Delete My AI Data”.
It may take up to 30 days for deleted AI chat data to be fully removed from Snapchat’s servers.
Deleting My AI data clears your past chats but does not stop future data collection unless the bot is disabled.
Without Snapchat+, most users cannot remove or unpin My AI, though some report temporary success with unofficial methods like using Snapchat Web, clearing the chat, and reinstalling the app.

Snapchat introduced My AI as a pinned chatbot in the chat feed but many users find it intrusive or unnecessary. Whether you’re looking to remove it completely or just unpin it from the top, here’s a full guide on how to get rid of Snapchat AI across different devices and account types.

Why Can’t I Unpin My AI On Snapchat?

You can’t unpin My AI unless you’re subscribed to Snapchat+. The unpin option is locked behind a premium paywall. For free users Snapchat keeps the chatbot fixed at the top of the chat feed with no option to move or hide it by default.

How To Unpin And Remove My AI From Snapchat

Follow these steps

Open Snapchat and swipe right to access the Chat screen.
Press and hold on My AI.
Tap “Chat Settings”.
To unpin select “Unpin Conversation.”
To remove tap “Clear from Chat Feed.”

These options are usually only visible for Snapchat+ users. You may not see these controls without Snapchat+.

What Happens When You Unpin My AI?

Unpinning My AI simply moves it from the top of your chat list. It doesn’t delete it or stop the bot from responding. The conversation remains in your chat feed like any other friend or contact.

How Do I Turn Off Snap AI Edit?

Snapchat’s AI editing tools (like filters or background generators) are not part of the chatbot. These features cannot be fully disabled. You can avoid using them by not selecting AI effects in the camera or Snap editing tools but there’s no current way to turn them off completely from settings.

How To Disable My AI Via The Chat Feed

Some users can remove My AI directly from the chat feed

Swipe right to open the Chat screen.
Press and hold on My AI.
Tap Chat Settings.
Select “Clear from Chat Feed.”

If this doesn’t work, it may be limited by your subscription level or device version.

How To Remove My AI From The Settings

To clear your data from My AI

On iOS:
1. Tap your profile icon.
2. Tap the gear icon (Settings).
3. Scroll to Privacy Controls and Clear Data.
4. Tap “Delete My AI Data.”
On Android:
1. Tap your profile icon.
2. Tap the gear icon (Settings).
3. Scroll to Account Actions.
4. Tap “Delete My AI Data.”

After confirming, your chat history with My AI will be deleted but it may take up to 30 days to remove the data fully from Snapchat’s servers.

What Happens After Removing My AI?

Once removed:

The bot disappears from your Chat feed.
It won’t appear again unless you interact with it or Snapchat restores it via updates.
Data tied to your previous chats can take several weeks to be erased from servers.

This action doesn’t affect your account negatively.
