How to Half Swipe in Snapchat (2022)
Here’s how to half swipe in Snapchat so you can read a message without notifying the sender.
If you’re a Snapchat user and want to subtly read a message without letting the other person know you read it, there’s a trick you can use. The trick is known as the Half Swipe technique, and it allows you to read the contents of a message without Snapchat marking it as read. In this guide, we’ll show you how to half swipe on Snapchat.
What is a Half Swipe in Snapchat?
Half swiping is a Snapchat trick where you swipe to view a message without fully opening it. It allows users to read the contents of a message without notifying the sender you’ve seen it.
How to Half Swipe in Snapchat
To half swipe in Snapchat:
- Open Snapchat and go to the Chat tab.
- Find the Chat you want to read.
- Press on the user’s Bitmoji and slowly swipe to the right until you can read the message.
- Swipe back to the left to close the message and leave it marked as unread.
The sneaky Snapchat half swipe method lets you read a message without actually opening it. Snapchat triggers a chat message as read if you fully open it, so don’t swipe too far to the right, or it won’t work correctly. If you release your finger from the screen past the halfway swipe point, the message will open and be marked as read–try to avoid doing this if you’re trying to half swipe.
If done correctly, the message will still be marked as New chat, meaning the sender will not be notified that it was read. However, now you know what the message says, thanks to the half swipe.
