Snapchat introduced My AI as a default chatbot pinned to the top of every user’s chat list, and reactions have been mixed since day one. For users who want a cleaner chat list, who never use the chatbot, or who simply do not want an AI taking up the top slot in their inbox, the question is straightforward: how do you actually get rid of it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The honest answer is that Snapchat has structured My AI removal in a way that depends on what you are willing to do. Free Snapchat accounts can hide some traces of My AI but cannot fully unpin it without upgrading to Snapchat+. This guide walks through every option available in 2026, from clearing your chat history to managing AI data, plus the exact steps for Snapchat+ subscribers who can remove My AI completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Snapchat My AI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My AI is Snapchat’s built-in AI chatbot powered by OpenAI’s GPT technology<\/a>. It launched in early 2023 as an exclusive Snapchat+ feature, then expanded to all free Snapchat users globally. It lives at the top of your Chat tab, just below the search bar, and behaves like a friend you can message: send a Snap, ask a question, request a recommendation, or just chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My AI uses a combination of Snapchat’s in-app data and OpenAI’s language models to respond. It has access to your username, the friends you are in groups with, your approximate location (if location services are enabled), and the content of your conversations with it. It does not have access to your private chats with other people, your Memories, or Snaps you have not sent to it directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many users, this is helpful. For others, it is intrusive, takes up space in the inbox, and creates concerns about data collection. Whatever your reason, here are the actual ways to reduce, remove, or fully unpin My AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can You Remove My AI from Snapchat Completely?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, but only with a Snapchat+ subscription. Snapchat made the full removal of My AI a paid feature. Free users have access to several partial controls, but the ability to permanently unpin My AI from the Chat tab is locked behind Snapchat+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Clear Your Conversation with My AI (Free Method)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the closest a free Snapchat user can get to “removing” My AI. Clearing the conversation deletes the chat history but does not unpin My AI from your Chat tab. After clearing, My AI remains accessible and will re-engage as soon as you tap on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Open Snapchat and go to the Chat tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Tap on the My AI conversation at the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tap your Bitmoji or profile picture in the top left corner of the conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Scroll down and tap Clear from Chat Feed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Confirm the action.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Your conversation history is wiped, and My AI temporarily disappears from your immediate Chat tab list. However, the chatbot itself remains pinned to the top, ready to be tapped again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Clear AI Data and History from Snapchat Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Beyond the chat itself, Snapchat lets you delete the data My AI has collected through your conversations. This is useful for privacy reasons, especially if you have shared personal information with the chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Open Snapchat and tap your Bitmoji in the top left corner to access your profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Tap the gear icon in the top right corner to open Settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Scroll to the Privacy Controls section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Tap Clear Data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Select Clear My AI Data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Confirm the action.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      This step removes the conversation history, your shared preferences, and the personal context My AI had built about you. It does not remove the chatbot itself; it resets your relationship with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to Unpin My AI from the Chat Tab (Snapchat+ Required)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Snapchat+ subscribers ($3.99\/month or $39.99\/year as of 2026) have the option to fully unpin My AI from the top of the Chat tab and remove it from the conversation list entirely. Here is how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Make sure you are subscribed to Snapchat+. You can subscribe through your profile by tapping the Snapchat+ banner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Open the Chat tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Find the My AI conversation at the top of your chat list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Press and hold (long-press) on the My AI conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. A menu appears. Tap Chat Settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Tap Clear from Chat Feed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Once unpinned, My AI no longer appears in your Chat tab. You can still access it through the search bar by typing “My AI” if you want to use it occasionally, but it is no longer occupying the pinned top slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to Hide or Mute My AI Notifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If full removal is not an option for you, muting My AI notifications reduces the chatbot’s presence in your daily Snapchat experience without changing anything visible in the chat list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Open the Chat tab and tap on the My AI conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Tap your Bitmoji in the top left corner of the conversation to open settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Tap Message Notifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Select Silent (or whatever the lowest notification setting is for your version).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          This stops My AI from pushing notifications, so the chatbot effectively becomes passive: it stays pinned, but it does not actively prompt you to engage with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How to Disable Location Sharing with My AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          My AI uses your approximate location for some responses, like restaurant recommendations or local weather. If you want to limit what My AI knows about you without removing it entirely, disable location sharing for the chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Open Snapchat and tap your Bitmoji in the top left.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Tap the gear icon to open Settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Scroll to Privacy Controls and tap See My Location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Find My AI in the list and toggle off location sharing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            On iOS, you can also restrict Snapchat’s overall location access by going to your phone’s Settings, finding Snapchat, and changing Location to Never or While Using App with Precise Location toggled off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Why Snapchat Re-Pins My AI After You Clear It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Free users often notice that after clearing My AI from the Chat tab, the chatbot reappears within hours or days. This is by design. Snapchat treats My AI as a default feature for free accounts, meaning the platform automatically re-pins it after a brief absence. Without a Snapchat+ subscription, there is no permanent unpinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            If this behaviour bothers you, the only durable solution is upgrading to Snapchat+ for the duration that you want My AI fully removed. You can subscribe monthly and cancel at any time without losing the My AI removal benefit during the active period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Is It Safe to Use My AI on Snapchat?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Snapchat’s official position is that My AI follows the same data protection standards as the rest of the platform. Conversations with My AI may be reviewed by Snapchat employees to improve the product, but Snapchat states that this review is anonymised and used to refine the model rather than to identify individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            That said, several precautions are worth taking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
