Snapchat Rolls Out Editable Chats, Emoji Reactions, and More New Features
Snapchat is rolling out new features aimed at enhancing user interactions and improving existing experiences on the platform. Among these updates are several artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features, gradually being made available to users. Some features will be exclusive to Snapchat+ paid subscribers. The platform introduces Editable Chats, Emoji Reactions, My AI Reminders, an AI-powered tool to generate custom outfits for Bitmoji avatars, and more.
Snapchat announced these new features in a recent newsroom post, aiming to facilitate quicker connections, novel self-expression, and organizational tools amid busy schedules. The company stated, “Every day, Snapchatters create more than 5 billion Snaps on average to communicate visually with their friends. Now, we’re adding new features to help Snapchatters connect even more quickly, express themselves in new ways, and use My AI to stay organized amid busy lives and schedules.”
One of the notable additions is Editable Chats, allowing users to edit their messages within five minutes of sending, akin to WhatsApp’s feature. Currently, this feature is exclusive to Snapchat+ users, but there are possibilities of expanding it to all users later on.

Editable Chats is a new addition that will allow users to edit their messages after sending them for up to five minutes. The feature works similarly to WhatsApp’s message editing feature. This is currently only available to Snapchat+ users but it may later be expanded to all users.
Apart from these, two new AI features are also coming to Snapchat. First is an AI-powered Bitmoji outfit generator. Users can now write a short description of the outfit they want and the AI will generate a selection of similar garments. These outfits can have unique patterns, colours, designs, and more. The second feature was rolled out a few days ago and dubbed the ‘90s AI Lens. The AI Lens is essentially an AI-powered filter with creative effects that are auto-applied once an image is clicked. This particular one brings in the ‘90s aesthetics.
