What is a half swipe on snapchat?

A half swipe on Snapchat refers to the action of only partially swiping left or right on a conversation or a friend's snap in the app. This action allows you to quickly view a preview of the content without fully opening the snap or conversation.

When you perform a half swipe on Snapchat, a small preview of the snap or conversation will appear on your screen, giving you a glimpse of the content without marking it as read. This is useful if you want to quickly check a snap without committing to viewing the full content or if you want to easily keep track of which conversations or snaps you have not yet opened.

However, it's important to note that the sender will be notified that you have viewed the snap, even if you only perform a half swipe. So, if you want to view the content without the sender knowing, it's best to avoid any swiping actions on the snap or conversation.
