What Happens to the Active Streaks
Just like us if you’re more concerned about the active Snap streaks, then we’re the harbinger of bad news here. After logging out of your Snapchat account, once the timer runs out on all active streaks, they will end thereby halting your Snap score.

Will My Saved Memories Be Deleted
No, Your Snapchat memories won’t be deleted but only if they’re completely backed up. Make sure to check if your memories are completely backed up before logging out or uninstalling the app.
If the memories are not backed up properly, then there might be some memories missing the next time you log in to Snapchat. Even if you log in to the same device as last time, if the memories are not backed up properly, some memories might be deleted.
What Happens to Saved Messages and Conversations
Worried about the saved messages and late-night conversations with your friends? Then let us assure you that all your conversations will still be saved. The messages are stored in Snapchat servers and won’t be wiped even if you log out of your Snapchat account.
What About Snapchat Settings
Yes, All Snapchat settings altered or changed within the Snapchat app would be saved automatically, even if you log out. These will be restored when you log in again on Snapchat. Even if say you’re upgrading your device, then also all settings within the Snapchat app would be imported to the new device.
This is also true for any changes that you’ve made in Snapchat settings within the Phone settings. So, even if you log out of your Snapchat account then any changes you made within Phone settings for Snapchat would still be saved. These include permissions for Storage, Camera, and Location among others.
What happens to Spotlight and Snap Map
All your snaps in Spotlight and Snap Map section are saved in the Snapchat servers and won’t be affected if you log out of Snapchat account.
Will I Still Keep Receiving Notifications
No, when you log out of your Snapchat account, you will not receive any notifications from the Snapchat app. All your friends will be able to send you snaps and messages but there would be no intimation like “John Doe sent you a Snap” for you. Once you log in again, then you can check who sent you messages or snaps on Snapchat.

Will My Friends Still Be Able to Find Me
Yes, all your friends can still find you on Snapchat. Do note that you’re only logging out of Snapchat but not deleting your account. So, you will still appear in any searches and in your friend lists.
What Happens to My Location
As soon as you log out of Snapchat, the app will stop accessing your location. Neither will it show on Snap Map nor anywhere else within Snapchat.
Can I Call/Message Someone if They Are Logged Out
Technically, yes. You can still call or message someone who is no longer logged in to Snapchat. But they’d not be able to see any of your calls or messages until they log in to the app again. So, your message will stay unseen and your calls will only keep Ringing.
Will My Followers Know That I Logged Out
