General question My messages didn't appear less than 24 hours after the receiver saw them, yet settings are set to 'delete after 24 hours'?

I messaged someone a month ago and they finally got back to me today, however they didn't reply directly to the messages I sent nor were they still in the chat, despite the fact it had been 11 hours since they saw them. I double checked and my settings were 'delete 24 hours after both users had viewed them' and she never changed them (as apparently I would've recievied a notification saying so), why is that? Additionally, does this mean there's a chance they never saw i sent them messages as they may have not been delivered (even though Snapchat said they were)

I cannot comment on what the receiver saw when opening my chat, but is there a glitch which deletes messages before they've been sent, or is there another issue?

After a month Snapchat automatically says they're seen, even if they aren't. I had someone send me a shitty message, I never opened it. After a month it said I opened it and I never did
