It sounds like he also wants to know if there's any special he needs to do to ensure this.

do you mean from snapchat servers or from just viewable on snapchat by users he sends them to?

Edit: He said "so that law enforcement can't find it." That's a direct quote btw.

1000% recoverable by law enforcement. his best bet is to delete his account and request a data deletion under ccpa (assuming california). next best is to delete his account and hope all his data is actually deleted before a police subpoena

Lots of wishy washy words here, like the servers are "designed" to automatically delete content after 31 days. https://help.snapchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/7012334940948-When-does-Snapchat-delete-Snaps-and-Chats

Your friend should sure hope no one sends a subpoena or hold notice to Snap Chat before the 31st day.

ive seen stuff retrieved way after 31 days.

ricky is right the friend should delete the account and request data deletion if that option is available. doubt anyone but snapchat programmers have any answer on what impacts how long stuff stays on their servers, but i do know a lot of people bave been pwned because they thought when a message can no longer be viewed on the app that its gone forever.

go into ur settings, there is a data tab at the very bottom somewhere

you can request every chat, video, pic etc on the account, sent and received,

so can other people
