How to Get My AI on Snapchat

You open Snapchat to send a perfectly normal Snap. Suddenly, there it is: My AIan eager little chatbot sitting in your Chat feed like it pays rent.
If you want it, great. If you’re just trying to find it, use it, customize it, or make it less… present… you’re in the right place.

This guide walks you through exactly how to get My AI on Snapchat, what to do if it’s missing, how to pin/unpin/remove it from your Chat feed, and how to tighten privacy settingswithout turning it into a 47-step tech support quest.

What “My AI” on Snapchat Really Is (and What It Isn’t)

My AI is Snapchat’s built-in chatbot that lives inside your Chats. It can answer questions, help brainstorm, and suggest ideaslike a friend who’s always online and never says, “Sorry, just saw this.”

What it’s good at

• Quick explanations (“What’s the difference between APR and APY?”)
• Planning help (“Build me a 2-day LA itinerary with tacos and museums.”)
• Suggestions (“What should I cook with chicken and rice?”)
• Drafting messages (“Write a polite text to reschedule.”)

What it’s not good at (and why you should care)

My AI can be confidently wrong sometimes. It can also be limited by whatever information exists in its underlying model training data, so it may not know very recent events.
Translation: it’s helpful, but it’s not your lawyer, doctor, financial advisor, or all-knowing oracle.

Pro tip: treat My AI like a smart assistant that still needs a second opinionespecially for anything important, sensitive, or expensive.

Before You Try Anything: A 30-Second Checklist

• Update Snapchat in the App Store/Google Play. New features can be tied to app versions.
• Check your connection (Wi-Fi or cellular). Chat features can act weird on unstable networks.
• Be patient with rollouts: features can appear gradually for accounts, regions, or devices.
• Know what you want: access My AI, remove it from view, or lock down privacy settings? (You can do all three.)

The Fastest Way to Get My AI on Snapchat (Most People Already Have It)

If My AI is available on your account, you usually don’t “install” it. You just… find it.

Step-by-step: Find My AI in your Chat feed

1. Open Snapchat.
2. From the Camera screen, swipe right to go to the Chat screen.
3. Look for My AI in the chat list and tap it.
4. Send a message (even “Hi”) to start the chat thread.

If it’s there, congratsyou’ve officially adopted a digital pen pal.

If My AI Isn’t Showing Up: Fixes That Actually Work

When My AI “isn’t there,” it’s usually one of three things:
(1) you’re not looking in the right place, (2) Snapchat needs a refresh, or (3) the feature hasn’t fully rolled to your account/device yet.

1) Search for it (the “it was here the whole time” fix)

1. Tap the magnifying glass (Search).
2. Type My AI.
3. Tap it to open the chat.
4. Send a message to bring it back into your Chat feed.

2) Close Snapchat completely, then reopen

Don’t just swipe away and hope. Fully close the app, reopen it, and check the Chat tab again.

3) Restart your phone

It’s cliché because it works. A reboot clears a surprising number of “Snapchat is being dramatic” moments.

4) Clear Snapchat’s cache

Cache issues can cause missing features, blank screens, and general chaos. Clearing the cache is the “clean your room” of app troubleshootingannoying, but effective.

5) Log out and log back in

If your account session is stuck, a fresh login can force settings to re-sync.

6) Update your device OS

If you’re running a very old iOS/Android version, new Snapchat features may not behave well. Updating your OS can help.

7) Reinstall Snapchat (last resort, but reliable)

Uninstall, reinstall, log back in, and check Chats. This can clear corrupted app data.

8) Check for outages or “busy” behavior

Sometimes the bot isn’t missingit’s just not responding. Wait a bit and try again later.

9) Make sure you’re using the mobile app

Snapchat’s feature set can differ between mobile and web experiences. For My AI, the mobile app is where you’ll see the fullest experience.

10) If it still won’t appear… it may not be available to your account yet

This is rare today, but still possible. In that case, keep the app updated and check again periodically.

How to Pin, Unpin, or Remove My AI from Your Chat Feed

Let’s clear up a confusing detail: “unpin” and “remove/clear from chat feed” aren’t the same thing.
One just changes placement; the other hides the conversation thread from your Chat list.

Unpin My AI (stop it from living at the very top)

1. Go to Chat (swipe right from Camera).
2. Press and hold on My AI.
3. Tap Chat and Notification Settings.
4. Tap Unpin Conversation.

Remove My AI from your Chat feed (clear it from the list)

1. Go to Chat.
2. Press and hold on My AI.
3. Tap Chat and Notification Settings.
4. Tap Clear from Chat Feed, then confirm.

Important: clearing the chat feed removes the thread from view, but it doesn’t automatically delete everything you previously shared with My AI.

Add My AI back (if you change your mind at 2 a.m.)

1. Tap the magnifying glass and search My AI.
2. Open the chat.
3. Send a message to bring it back into your Chat feed.

Re-pin My AI

You may be able to re-pin it from the same Chat and Notification Settings menu by choosing Pin Conversation.
In some cases, Snapchat surfaces pinning options through Snapchat+ controls.

Customize My AI So It Feels Less Like a Random Coworker

Customization won’t make My AI a real friend (sorry), but it can make the experience feel more personal and less like you’re chatting with a generic help desk.

Customize My AI’s Bitmoji avatar

1. Open the chat with My AI.
2. Tap the profile/friendship area to open its Friendship Profile.
3. Tap the 3D Bitmoji header.
4. Tap Avatar to change appearance, and Outfit to change clothes.
5. Tap Save.

You can also add a bio for your AI in customization settings (when available). Keep it simple: “Weekend trip planner,” “Meal idea machine,” or “My emotionally supportive spelling checker.”

Privacy, Safety, and “Wait… Does It Remember That?”

Short answer: yes, it can remember things you’ve shared, and content can be retained unless you delete it. If you want My AI in your life, it’s smart to set boundaries early.

What to avoid sharing

• Passwords, codes, or account recovery info
• Banking details or ID numbers
• Medical details you wouldn’t post publicly
• Anything you’d be upset to see screenshotted

Delete recent messages (last 24 hours)

1. Open your chat with My AI.
2. Long-press a message you sent.
3. Tap Delete.

Delete your My AI data (the “wipe the chalkboard” option)

Snapchat provides options to delete My AI data, and it can take time for deletion to fully process on servers.

On iOS

1. Tap your Profile icon → tap the ⚙️ gear.
2. Scroll to Privacy Controls.
3. Tap Delete Data.
4. Tap Delete My AI Data and confirm.

On Android

1. Tap your Profile icon → tap the ⚙️ gear.
2. Scroll to Account Actions.
3. Tap Delete My AI Data and confirm.

Note: Deleting the relevant My AI data can take up to 30 days to complete on Snapchat’s servers.

Location: Ghost Mode isn’t a force field

My AI can use Snapchat’s knowledge of your general location to give nearby recommendations if you’ve granted location permission.
And even if you’re in Ghost Mode (which hides your location from friends), the Snapchat app may still have location accessmeaning My AI can still use it for “near me” suggestions.

Turn off Snapchat location access

On iOS: iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Snapchat → set to Never.

On Android: Long-press Snapchat app icon → App info → Permissions → Location → set to Deny.

If you changed location permissions recently, your location might still be cached. Clear your My AI data afterward so the bot “forgets” what it previously used.

Opt out of Snap using your public content to train generative AI

Snapchat also provides a setting to opt out of Snap using your public content (like public posts) to develop, train, or improve its generative AI models going forward.

1. Profile → ⚙️ Settings
2. Under Privacy Control, tap Manage My Information
3. Toggle off the option that allows use of your public content for generative AI training

How to Use My AI Like a Pro: Prompts That Get Better Answers

The secret to getting useful answers isn’t “being smarter than the AI.”
It’s being clearer than your group chat.

Try this simple prompt formula

Context + Constraints + Output Format

• Context: “I’m planning a birthday for a 12-year-old who loves science.”
• Constraints: “Budget is $50, and I need ideas I can buy at Target or online.”
• Output: “Give me 10 options in a table with price estimates.”

Specific examples you can copy/paste

• Food: “I have chicken thighs, rice, and frozen broccoli. Give me 3 dinner ideas under 30 minutes.”
• Trip planning: “Build a 1-day NYC plan starting at 10 a.m. near Midtown, mostly indoors, with one great pizza stop.”
• School: “Explain photosynthesis like I’m 10, then quiz me with 5 questions.”
• Texting help: “Write a friendly message to my friend: I can’t make it tonight, but I want to reschedule.”
• Shopping: “I need a gift for my best friend who loves skincare and cozy stuff. Budget $25. Give me 8 ideas.”

Common Problems (and the Least Annoying Fixes)

“My AI gave me outdated info.”

That can happen. Ask it to show its assumptions, then verify important details yourself.
For example: “List the steps you’re assuming are current. If you’re not sure, tell me what I should check in the app.”

“It’s pinned and I hate it.”

Unpin it or clear it from your Chat feed. If those options aren’t visible, update the app and check again.

“It’s acting weird / not responding.”

Try switching networks, restarting Snapchat, and waiting a bit. Sometimes it’s just a temporary service issue.

“I want it, but I don’t want it to know everything.”

That’s the healthy approach. Use it for planning, brainstorming, and basic questionsskip personal details and delete your My AI data occasionally.

FAQ

Do I need Snapchat+ to get My AI?

My AI is broadly available to Snapchatters. Some management or premium controls may appear differently depending on your account or subscription status,
but accessing and chatting with My AI generally doesn’t require a separate download.

You can remove the conversation from your Chat feed and delete your My AI data. That’s usually enough for most people.
The feature itself is built into Snapchat, so think “hide and control,” not “uninstall like a random game.”

Does Ghost Mode stop My AI from using my location?

Ghost Mode hides your location from friends on Snap Map, but the Snapchat app may still have location permission.
To prevent location-based recommendations, turn off Snapchat’s location permission at the device level and clear your My AI data.

Will My AI remember what I tell it?

Conclusion: Get It, Use It, Control It

Getting My AI on Snapchat is usually as simple as opening your Chat tab and starting a conversation. The real power move is knowing how to
manage it: unpin it, clear it from your feed, customize it, and lock down privacy settings so you’re not oversharing with a chatbot that never sleeps.

Use My AI for what it does bestquick help, planning, ideas, draftsand keep the sensitive stuff off-limits. Your future self will thank you.

Real-World Experiences: What Using My AI Feels Like

“Experience” can mean a lot of things here, because My AI isn’t one single featureit’s more like a new character that shows up in your Snapchat routine.
Below are a handful of realistic ways Snapchatters tend to use My AI (and what they learn the hard way), written like everyday mini-stories you can steal ideas from.

1) The “I need a gift in 15 minutes” rescue

Someone remembers (too late) that their best friend’s birthday is today. Panic shopping begins.
My AI becomes the quick brainstorm buddy: “She loves skincare, hates clutter, and I have $30. Give me 10 ideas I can find locally.”
The best part isn’t that My AI magically knows the perfect itemit’s that it organizes options fast. It can suggest categories (mini fragrance sets, sheet masks, cozy socks),
then you pick what matches your friend’s vibe. The takeaway: My AI shines when you provide constraints and ask for a clean list or a ranked set of options.

2) The dinner spiral that turns into an actual meal

The fridge contains: leftovers, mystery vegetables, and one sad lemon. The brain contains: nothing.
People often use My AI like a “what can I make with this?” assistant. If you tell it what you have and what you don’t want (spicy, dairy, complicated),
it can propose a few recipes that fit your reality. The win isn’t gourmet brillianceit’s momentum. Suddenly you’re not doomscrolling food videos;
you’re making a 20-minute stir-fry because the bot gave you a simple plan with steps.

3) The “plan my day” cheat code for trips and hangouts

When someone’s travelingor even just trying to fill a Saturdaythey’ll ask My AI to build a mini itinerary:
“I’m free from noon to 6, I’ll be in downtown, I want one museum, one coffee stop, and dinner, mostly walking.”
Even if you don’t follow it exactly, a structure helps. Users often report that My AI is best for generating a first draft plan
that you then customize based on real hours, real tickets, and real preferences. It’s like getting a rough outline you can edit,
instead of staring at a blank calendar like it personally offended you.

4) The study buddy that doesn’t judge your questions

A surprisingly common use: explaining concepts without embarrassment. People ask My AI to break down something they “should” know already
math steps, history context, grammar rules, you name it. The smartest move is to ask for the information in layers:
“Explain it simply, then give a deeper version, then quiz me.” That way you’re not just reading; you’re practicing.
It’s not a replacement for school or tutoring, but it can be a very effective “I’m stuck” tool when used with clear goals.

5) The privacy wake-up call

A lot of people start off chatting with My AI like it’s totally private… until they remember it’s still a product inside a social app.
That’s often when they check settings, clear their My AI data, and reconsider what they share.
The practical lesson: treat My AI chats like they’re more permanent than a disappearing Snap.
If you’re going to use it for personal planning, keep details general (city instead of address, budget range instead of bank balance),
and delete your My AI data periodically if you’re a heavy user. The goal isn’t paranoiait’s control.

In the end, the best “My AI experience” is the one where you get real usefulness (ideas, plans, drafts, explanations)
while keeping your boundaries intact. Think of it as a tool you drivenot a passenger that grabs the wheel.
