Jumping onto the AI trend, Snapchat incorporated a ChatGPT-driven bot into its messaging platform. Dubbed My AI, this bot assists with trip planning, message drafting, gift suggestions, and more. Initially exclusive to Snapchat+ subscribers, it’s now accessible to all users at no cost. However, widespread discontent surrounds the integration of AI into messaging. Here’s how to remove the My AI bot from your Snapchat experience.
Why are users unhappy, you ask? Snapchat users are upset because the AI chatbot lies about its permissions and access to information. Many users report that initially, the bot claims not to have access to your location, but then suggests nearby store or restaurant locations when asked. This behavior is deemed creepy and annoying, leading users to leave 1-star reviews on Snapchat’s app on Play Store and the iOS App Store.
If you’re experiencing the same issue and want to remove this annoying bot, we’ve outlined two simple methods to eliminate Snapchat’s My AI bot from your chat feed. Additionally, if you accidentally removed or unpinned My AI and wish to restore it, we’ll guide you on how to find and start chatting with the bot again.
How to Disable Snapchat AI Bot via Chat Feed
Before moving forward, we clarify that NOT every Snapchat user can unpin or disable the My AI bot from their chat feed. As per Snapchat’s support page and an official tweet, only Snapchat+ subscribers receive “early access” to new features, including the ability to unpin or remove My AI from the chat feed. This has understandably irked users.
If you’re keen on removing the AI bot from your chat feed, you must first subscribe to Snapchat Plus ($3.99 per month or $29.99 per year). Yes, it entails spending money to eliminate this AI bot, which is peculiar. Nonetheless, upon subscription, follow these steps to remove Snapchat’s My AI bot from your chat feed on Android or iOS:
1. Open the Snapchat app and navigate to the chat feed by swiping right on the screen.
2. Long-press “My AI” in the conversation to access settings.

4. Confirm by tapping “Clear” in the prompted pop-up.

How to Unpin Snapchat My AI Chatbot
