what is half swipe on snapchat

Half swipe on Snapchat is a trick that allows you to read messages without alerting the sender that youve read them. It involves partially opening the message by tapping and holding the senders Bitmoji or profile icon and swiping to the right, but not releasing the swipe just yet. You can then release the swipe to leave the message in an unread state. This trick only works for reading messages, not for viewing Snaps. It is possible to half swipe on both the iPhone and Android versions of Snapchat. As of October 2022, half-swiping on Snapchat is still possible, but it may be removed in a future update since it is not an official feature.
