When Can You Delete a Snapchat Message?

You can only delete a Snapchat message if it has not been viewed yet. Even then, Snapchat says the following about deleting sent messages:

So as soon as someone views the message, you can no longer delete it. You also cannot delete messages that the other person has saved.

In addition, when you delete a message, Snapchat adds a note to the chat saying that a message was removed. It does not reveal the actual message, but the recipient knows a message was deleted from the chat.
