Snapchat’s Story feature is a great way to share what’s going on in your life right now with your friends. The problem is, because it’s integrated with Snapchat’s regular messaging, it’s very easy to accidentally post a Snap to your story that was meant for someone specific. Obviously, that can get embarrassing, fast…not that I’d know.

In case it happens, let’s look at how to delete a Snap you’ve accidentally posted to your Story.

Head to the Stories screen in Snapchat.
