Snapchat continues to evolve its platform to stay relevant and attractive to its users in an increasingly competitive market. The social app has announced a series of new features, highlighting the ability to edit already sent messages, allowing users to correct typographical errors or slip-ups. This feature has a short five-minute window after sending, and only if the recipient has not yet opened it.
The function to edit messages will be available for Snapchat Plus subscribers, a similar move to what Elon Musk did in his day, who decided to put the most requested feature by Twitter users in his paid subscription service: Twitter Blue. Message editing is a trend in the world of social platforms, where apps like Meta Messenger, Instagram or WhatsApp have already incorporated it.
Snapchat is also enhancing its chatbot My AI with new AI-powered features, such as the ability to remember important dates and create a countdown to remind you of them. Additionally, you will now be able to generate custom clothing for your Bitmoji using AI, and AI Lenses will allow you to create a 90s Polaroid-style version of yourself with just a selfie.
But that’s not all, because you will also have the possibility to send emoji reactions to friends who share their location with you on Snapchat during a trip or when arriving at work. These new features are already available, although the message editing function for Snapchat Plus subscribers “will be coming soon,” according to Snapchat.
