If you’ve used Snapchat for a while, you may have interacted with the app’s AI-powered features, such as filters, lenses, and other augmented reality experiences. While these can be fun to use, you may decide that you want to remove them completely from your Snapchat experience.
Here are the steps on how to get rid of AI on Snapchat completely:
1. Disable Filters and Lenses: Open the Snapchat app and go to your profile by tapping on your Bitmoji icon in the top left corner. Then, tap on the gear icon to open the Settings menu. Scroll down to “Additional Services” and then turn off the “Filters and Lenses” option. This will disable most of the AI-powered features on Snapchat.
2. Clear Your Lens History: Even after disabling filters and lenses, Snapchat may still save your previous lens interactions. To clear this history, go to the “Additional Services” section in the Settings menu and tap on “Lens History.” Then, tap on “Clear History” to remove all stored lens data.
3. Revoke Camera and Microphone Access: To ensure that Snapchat doesn’t have access to your camera and microphone for AI purposes, you can go to your device’s settings and revoke these permissions for the Snapchat app. On iOS, go to Settings > Privacy > Camera/Microphone and toggle off access for Snapchat. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Snapchat > Permissions and disable camera and microphone access.
4. Update Privacy Settings: Review your privacy settings within the Snapchat app to make sure that you have maximum control over how the app uses your data. You can adjust settings related to location, contacts, and more to limit the AI’s ability to personalize your experience.
5. Delete Your Snapchat Account: If you want to completely remove yourself from the Snapchat platform and eliminate any traces of AI interaction, you can choose to delete your account. This will remove all your data from Snapchat’s servers and effectively erase your AI presence on the app.
By following these steps, you can effectively get rid of AI on Snapchat and limit the app’s ability to use augmented reality features and personalized experiences. Keep in mind that while some AI-related data might be removed, it’s always a good idea to review privacy policies and take additional steps to protect your data and privacy online.
