Snapchat will finally join most of its messaging app peers and allow users To edit your chats. The feature, which will launch “soon,” will initially be limited to Snapchat+ subscribers, the company said.
With the change, Snapchat users will have a five-minute window to reword their messages, correct typos, or edit their chats. Messages that have been edited will have a label indicating that the text has been changed. The company hasn’t said when the feature might be available to more users, but the company often brings sought-after features to its subscription service first. Snap announced last week that Snapchat+, which costs $3.99 per month, has reached subscribers.
The app is also adding several non-exclusive features, including updated emoji reactions for chats, the ability to use the My AI assistant to set reminders, and AI-generated outfits for Bitmoji. Snap also showed off a new AI lens that turns users’ selfies into ’90s-themed snapshots (just don’t look too closely at the wireless earbuds in many of the images.)
