I have not used snapchat in a while but I used it mostly when I was a young teen so I have a lot of chats and things saved on there as well as pictures in memories that I am not too proud of. I would like to delete the whole app and get rid of all my personal information so that it is as if I never had snapchat.

I had friends that I used to talk to back then that have somehow been able to make their snapchat disappear, meaning when I look up their username they DONT show up and I can't see our past conversation because even typing their username word for word doesnt make them pop up. Does deleting your snapchat account do this? Or do I have to block everyone first and then delete my account so that people can't search me up?

Thank you.
