Editable Chats

When you make a typo or something doesn’t quite come out right, you’ll be able to edit your messages for up to 5 minutes after sending them, before your friend replies. This feature is coming soon and will be available first for Snapchat+ subscribers.

Emoji Reactions

Since 2022, Snapchatters can express themselves quickly by reacting to a chat using their Bitmoji. Now, you can react with any emoji to express whatever is on your mind.

My AI Reminders

If you need to remember about an upcoming deadline, simply ask My AI for a reminder in direct chats or conversations with a single friend. With just a quick message, My AI will set up an in-app countdown for you.

Map Reactions

For users who have opted in to share their location with friends, Snapchat is also adding a new way to spark conversations from Snap Map. You can send a wave as you pass each other on the morning commute or a heart when you see a friend has arrived safely at their destination. 

Custom Bitmoji looks

With a short description, and a little help from AI, Snapchatters can design their own digital clothes for their Bitmoji. You can generate patterns like “vibrant graffiti” or “skull flower,” or tap on your favourite to edit.

Apart from these new features, the company also revealed that every day, Snapchatters create more than 5 billion Snaps on average to communicate visually with their friends.
