Snapchat for iOS
After version 10.38.0.25 of the application, we have the possibility to configure the duration of private chat messages in Snapchat. A new function that makes many of the regular users of this social network see the light.
You win we had to implement it. It is something that many users have been asking for for a long time. Entering a conversation, accidentally leaving it and losing the messages we had, was an action that happened very frequently and that many of us hated.
But now, FINALLY!!!, it can be avoided.
How to set Snapchat messages to last 24 hours:
Before explaining it, we have to say that, at the moment, it can only be done individually. That is, they cannot be configured en bloc for all users who write to us privately. We must select the chats in which we want to apply this function.
To do this, we access the private chat of the person we are interested in. Once inside the conversation, click on the button that appears in the upper right part, characterized by 3 horizontal lines.
Click on that button to configure Snapchat messages
After pressing it, these options appear:
Private Snapchat Message Options
We must click on "Delete Chats". Doing so will give us these alternatives:
Choose the option that interests you
Now we can choose whether to delete them after reading them or after 24 hours. after receiving them. If we choose this last option, the chat will inform you that you have changed this setting.
Settings change notification
This way, you and your contact will know that you write what you write, the messages will last 24 hours. after the first time you read it. They will not be deleted after reading, as was the case before.
What do you think of this change?
