How do I open a SnapChat message without the other person knowing you opened it?

To open a Snapchat message without the other person knowing, you can use two main methods:

1. Half-Swipe Method

This method allows you to preview a message without fully opening it. Here's how to do it:

• Navigate to the Chat Screen: Open Snapchat and go to the chat section.
• Find the Message: Locate the message you want to preview.
• Swipe Slowly: Press and hold on the sender's Bitmoji or profile icon. Slowly swipe to the right until part of the message appears. Be cautious not to swipe all the way, as this will mark the message as read.
• Release the Swipe: Once you've previewed the message, release the swipe to keep the message marked as unread14.

2. Airplane Mode Method

This method involves disconnecting your device from the internet to prevent Snapchat from sending a read receipt. Here's how to do it:

• Open Snapchat: Launch the app and navigate to the chat section.
• Turn on Airplane Mode: Before opening the message, enable Airplane Mode on your device to disconnect from the internet.
• Read the Message: With Airplane Mode on, open and read the message. Since you're offline, Snapchat won't register it as "opened."
• Close Snapchat: Ensure the app is fully closed.
• Turn Off Airplane Mode: Once you've read the message and closed the app, you can turn Airplane Mode off. The message will still appear unread42.

Note: The Airplane Mode method is more reliable but requires more steps. The half-swipe method is quicker but requires precision to avoid marking the message as read.
