Can You Delete My Eyes Only?
The ‘My Eyes Only’ feature can’t be turned off or delete, not in the traditional sense of the word. Once it’s been activated, it can’t be removed, deleted, hidden, but it can be ignored. What you do is remove the pictures from the ‘My Eyes Only’ tab, thereby, making it just an empty tab. You can make the passphrase easier to remember by changing it, too. To get rid of my eyes only, you have to remove everything from the folder. If you have content in there, it’ll remain in there until it’s deleted by you. There’s no way to just delete my eyes only folder on Snapchat, you can only delete the memories in there.
How to Turn Off My Eyes Only’ on Snapchat
Since the My Eyes Only feature can’t be turned off, to completely empty the folder, you either have to delete everything in there individually, or you need to use the forget passcode option to completely clear the folder, but the downside to this is that all of your snaps in there will be wiped.
