What Is Half-Swiping on Snapchat?
Half-swiping on Snapchat refers to the action of swiping a chat notification to see a preview of the message without actually opening it. This feature is particularly useful when you want to check a message quickly without the sender knowing that you have seen it.
How to Half Swipe on Snapchat
Half-swiping on Snapchat is a simple process that allows you to view a message without fully opening it. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Snapchat app and go to the Chat section.
- Look for the chat notification that you want to half swipe.
- Swipe the notification to the right. You should see a preview of the message appear at the bottom of your screen.
- To exit the preview, swipe the message back to the left, or swipe up to open the full conversation.
It’s important to note that half-swiping only works for chat notifications, not for snaps or stories. Additionally, if you half swipe a message, the sender will not be notified that you have viewed it.
