The digital world has been hit by another seismic shift, and it’s causing a stir among its most tech-savvy dwellers, Gen Z. Snapchat, a social media titan that has thrived on its youthful user base, has introduced a feature that’s left many members of this generation feeling like they’re in an episode of Black Mirror. Welcome to the era of Snapchat’s AI, an uninvited digital guest that has made itself rather too comfortable in Gen Z’s personal space.

Perhaps you, too, are one of the many who has opened their Snapchat to find this new AI in your chat feed. And perhaps, like many, you’re wondering, “For God’s sake, how do I delete it?” Rest assured, we’ve got your back.

Here’s your map out of this digital labyrinth. First, open your Snapchat. This is the lion’s den, and you’re going in. Next, navigate to the Chat screen. Swipe left from the Camera screen and hold down on “My AI”. It’s time to show it who’s boss.

Your journey isn’t over yet. Select “Chat Settings”, and then tap on “Clear from Chat Feed”. Yes, it’s that simple. Just a few taps on your screen, and you’ve successfully evicted your unwelcome guest.
