Let‘s start by looking at what this new AI feature actually is.

What is My AI on Snapchat?

My AI is Snapchat‘s version of ChatGPT – an AI chatbot you can converse with about pretty much anything right in your Snapchat app!

Here are some key facts about My AI:

It‘s powered by OpenAI, the creators behind ChatGPT technology.
My AI lives in your Snapchat Chat feed. You access it by swiping right from the Camera.
You can ask My AI questions, have conversations, get recommendations, and more.
It‘s quite advanced – My AI can understand context, provide follow-up, tell jokes, share fun facts, and hold natural conversations.
Both free and paying Snapchat users have access to My AI. Anyone can chat with the bot.
Snapchat Plus subscribers get more features like the ability to delete My AI (more on this below).

My AI makes use of OpenAI‘s powerful GPT-3 language model. This allows it to understand and generate human-like conversations on almost any topic.

For example, you could ask My AI questions like:

What‘s the weather today?
What should I watch on Netflix?
Tell me a funny joke!
How do I make pasta carbonara?

And My AI will provide thoughtful responses, recommendations, and answers. It can be super helpful!

But some privacy-focused folks are concerned about an AI viewing their chats and data. Next let‘s look at who can actually remove My AI.

Who Can Delete My AI on Snapchat?

Here‘s the deal – Snapchat says the current ability to remove My AI is only for paying Snapchat Plus subscribers.

Free Snapchat users cannot delete My AI from their Chat feed at this time. Here‘s a breakdown:

Snapchat Plus Subscribers: YES, they can fully delete My AI conversations and remove the bot from their Chat list. This is part of the early access Plus provides.
Free Snapchat Users: NO, regular Snapchat users cannot remove My AI right now. It remains permanently pinned to their Chat feed.

Snapchat Plus is Snapchat‘s $3.99 per month subscription that unlocks exclusive features like:

Removing My AI
Viewing Snap Map location history
Seeing who re-watched your Stories
Pinning a #1 Best Friend
Accessing more Lenses
Customizing your Bitmoji‘s wardrobe
Using multi-snap recording
Getting premium filters and reactions
More replay abilities

But for privacy-minded users like us, the ability to remove My AI is arguably the biggest benefit Snapchat Plus provides.

Now let‘s get into exactly how to delete this chatbot from your account.

Step-by-Step Guide to Removing My AI

If you‘re subscribed to Snapchat Plus, you can fully delete My AI in just a few taps. Here are two methods to remove the AI bot:

Method 1:

Subscribe to Snapchat Plus in the app or Snapchat‘s website.
Swipe right on the Camera screen to open your Chat list.
Press and hold your finger on the My AI chat.
Tap "Chat Settings" from the menu.
Select the “Clear from Chat Feed” option.
Confirm that you want to remove My AI when prompted.

Method 2:

Subscribe to Snapchat Plus.
Tap your profile icon in the top left corner.
Tap the Settings (gear) icon in the top right.
Scroll down and tap "Clear Conversations" under Privacy Controls.
Tap the "+" icon next to the My AI conversation.
Confirm that you want to delete My AI from your Chat feed.

And that‘s all it takes to fully remove the My AI chatbot from your Snapchat account!

Once removed, My AI won‘t appear in your Chat list or be accessible at all. You‘ve successfully opted-out of the AI bot.

But we still need to delete all the data you‘ve previously sent to My AI for complete privacy.

Clearing All My AI Conversations & Data

Removing My AI from your Chat list is an important first step. But for total peace of mind, you also need to delete all the conversations, images, and data you‘ve ever shared with My AI.

Luckily, Snapchat Plus lets you wipe all of that too. Here are two ways to clear your My AI data:

Method 1:

Tap your profile picture, then tap Settings.
Scroll down and tap "Clear Data" under Privacy Controls.
Select the "Clear My AI Data" option.
Confirm that you want to delete all My AI data.

Method 2:

Go to Settings and tap your profile icon.
Scroll down to the Account Actions section.
Tap on "Clear My AI Data".
Confirm that you want to erase all My AI conversations and info.

Once you clear data, all previous chats, messages, images, prompts, and anything else you‘ve ever sent to My AI will be permanently deleted.

Your entire My AI history is wiped clean from Snapchat‘s servers. It‘s like your conversations with the bot never happened!

Be sure to use both steps for full removal – deleting My AI from your Chat list, AND clearing My AI data under Privacy Controls. This ensures the chatbot and your personal info are gone for good.

Additional Privacy Controls With Snapchat Plus

On top of letting you remove My AI, Snapchat Plus subscribers get a bunch of extra privacy superpowers. Here are some of the top privacy features Plus unlocks:

Delete Conversations – Permanently remove one-on-one or group chats from your feed. Helpful for eliminating embarrassing or sensitive conversations.

Set Chats to Delete – Make your Snaps and chats expire after being opened or at a custom interval you specify. Great for privacy.
Remove Subscribers – Take back friend subscriptions so certain friends can‘t view your public content or Stories.
Block Friends – Fully block friends from contacting you or viewing your Stories without notifying them.

These premium controls let you customize your privacy settings and digital footprint within Snapchat. Having the ability to remove My AI is just one piece of the enhanced privacy Plus offers.

What Happens When You Delete My AI on Snapchat?

When you permanently delete My AI as a Snapchat Plus user, here‘s exactly what happens:

✅ The My AI chat disappears completely from your Chat feed.

✅ You can no longer access or converse with My AI.

✅ All previous conversations you had with My AI are erased.

✅ Any images, videos, or data you shared with My AI is deleted.

✅ My AI can no longer view or access your personal information.

✅ You cannot recover or restore any deleted My AI data. Removal is permanent.

Basically, it will be as if My AI never existed! The chatbot and your chat history will vanish from your account.

However, keep in mind:

❌ My AI remains available for all other Snapchat users. Only you lost access.

❌ You can re-add My AI by swiping right on the Camera. But your old data is gone forever.

❌ Removed chats only impact your account. Friends you messaged with still have the conversation.

So in summary – removing My AI only deletes it from your personal Snapchat account and data. The My AI bot itself continues running for everyone else. You‘ve simply opted out of its availability.

Hope this helps explain exactly what happens when you remove My AI using Snapchat Plus. Next let‘s go over some frequently asked questions.
