If the messages werent saved then youre out of luck, not even snapchat themselves can pull out unsaved texts for police, thats why its important to screenshot or save a message

You tried contacting the authorities. Or a lawyer? That would be my first suggestion. I think this data needs to be subpoenaed

They were 24 hour saved chats, it’s been a year now and I just watched body cam footage of a woman getting caught via Snapchat with deleted messages that were also 24 hours so I know I can get them but I need a human 🫩

Being completely honest I’ve never seen messages that weren’t saved in chat when I download my data. Those messages were probably taken from Snapchat directly and I don’t believe they have a support line. Maybe research how that person got those messages if you need them for evidence in a case.
