Snapchat will finally let you edit your chats

Snapchat will finally join most of its fellow messaging apps and allow users edit their chats. The feature, which will be rolled out “soon,” will initially be limited to Snapchat+ subscribers, the company said.

With the change, Snapchat users will have a five-minute window to paraphrase their message, fix typos or otherwise edit their chats. Messages that have been edited will have a label indicating that the text has been changed. The company didn’t say when the feature might be available to more of its users, but the company often makes sought-after features available first in its subscription service. Snap announced last week that Snapchat+, which costs $3.99 a month, has arrived subscribers.

The app also adds several non-exclusive features, including updated emoji reactions for chats, the ability to use the My AI assistant to set reminders, and AI-generated teams for Bitmoji. Snap also showed off a new AI lens that transforms users’ selfies into 1990s-themed snapshots (just don’t look too closely at the wireless headphones in many of the images.)
