SOCIAL media application, Snapchat, is a source of animated online interaction between friends and acquaintances.
The number of features available on Snapchat, such as Cameo, makes the app more fun to use when it comes to messaging.
In December 2019, Snapchat introduced another add-on to for their users to experience.
Cameo is a feature where the user can select different pictures and clips to superimpose or insert their likeness onto.
The user replaces the face of whoever’s in the photo or video, with their own face.
Cameos are accessed through the Bitmoji button on the Snapchat messaging keyboard.

You’re asked to take a selfie to teach Snapchat what you look like, and then choose whether you want a male or female body type.
The app then uses AI to swap your face onto the heads of actors in a variety of clips no longer than 10 seconds.
Cameos can be shared with anyone on your friends list in Snapchat messages.
The app created a bunch of clips that you can swap your face into.
For those in the online community who do not care for Cameos on Snapchat, there’s a way to delete the feature.
First, whether it’s their Bitmoji or another picture they selected, the user would have to tap on their profile icon.
After tapping on your Snap icon, a gear icon should appear which represents the settings menu.
Once the user enters the settings menu, the option – clear my Cameo selfie – becomes visible.
After selecting the ‘clear my Cameo selfie’ preference, the user’s Snap Cameo should be effectively removed.
Users are not able to delete their Snapchat accounts from the app itself, you have to go online to do it.
To kiss your Snapchat account goodbye, follow these steps in order to do so.
Go to the accounts portal at accounts.snapchat.com, and type in the username and password for the account you want to delete.
Scroll down and click on the Delete Account button.
Where prompted, enter your username and password. Don’t forget these details, just in case you change your mind and want to re-activate your account.
Your account will then be deleted – but will remain active for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to change your mind.
