This was pretty recent but I recently went through a rough time and had some conversations with friends where I probably shared more than I should have. For some of them the chats did not save because neither of us saved them but there are 1 or 2 people that saved the entire chat on their end. I would ask them to delete it but its been a while and I don’t want to bring up the topic again because I am embarrassed so I was wondering if there was a way to “unsave” or “delete” a chat that the other person has saved? I know it’s not a super big deal but it just bothers me that they have a copy of the conversation and could one day share it with others if they so choose to. I like snapchat because the messages “disappear” more or less but because they saved it, they can always go back to it.

TLDR: Is there anyway to “unsave” or “delete” a chat that you sent to a friend that THEY saved?
