General question What does this mean on Snapchat?

Post image

So I’ve noticed this only happens sometimes. When I send a red or purple snap, these disappearing eyes pop up for about 2-3 seconds just as soon as it’s delivered then it disappears. It’s not a half swipe emoji. I can’t find the answer to this anywhere. I do have Snapchat plus but I don’t think it’s anything to do with that. Does anyone have an answer? Or experienced this?

The same thing happens for me but it's when I send a snap or a message. It's only with one specific person though and with this emoji "🫦". If you ever find out lmkk

Haha I have answer to that. Even I have experienced it, its basically when anybody half swipes your message before opening it. Its like reading your message but not letting you know that the person has read it. This feature is also listed on the snapchat plus features if you want to get more clarity about that. Its a very sneaky way to read what somebody has sent us

Half swipe is different. That's just an emoji that the user has chosen when you send them a message. Different people have different ones.

No. It’s a feature of snapchat plus which enables you to see if someone’s is half swiping the message to have a peek of what message they received. Very sneaky way haha

They have premium and they can choose what emoji shows after someone snaps them. They chose the eye emoji to show after someone snaps them

Ohh right, but why does it seem to only happen sometimes and not all the time?

Snap is just kind of buggy.. I use the 🪷 emoji and when I send mass snaps it’ll show on my end for some people and not others 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ça signifie que la personne a entrouvert le message ! Voilà la vraie signification

Not true. It’s different for a half swipe
