had a fight with my bf last night, said some stuff i shouldn't have, he deleted all our snap conversations including photos he sent me (personal ones i won't see again). is there seriously no way to recover any of that
sadly snap is designed so those messages are gone on his end once he deletes, and photos/snaps in particular are only stored temporarily on snap's servers even when not deleted.
you can request your data from snap though:
OP: so the photos are 100% gone even on their end?
photos/videos yes unless they were saved to chat by one of you (tap and hold to save). regular snaps get deleted from snap's servers within 30 days of opening.
text messages have a slightly better chance in a data export but if he explicitly deleted the convo you might not get it even then
look i'm gonna be real with you — if the photos were intimate stuff and the relationship is shaky, maybe not having them isn't the worst thing. especially if the fight escalates. you don't want them floating around
OP: yeah i know that's the right answer. just feel sad about it
that's fair. it's not just the photos it's what they represented. but you'll have more moments, even if this doesn't work out. take care of yourself tonight
and to state the obvious — any website or app claiming to "recover deleted snaps" is a scam. 100%. snap's architecture doesn't allow third-party message recovery
data export is worth trying for chat logs. took like 48 hours when i did it. it gave me some closure tbh. good luck ❤️
