Recently-published documents reveal that the company-owned application Facebook spied on Snapchat traffic of users in one of its secret projects. Project Ghostbusters was Facebook's secret project launched in 2016 and was developed to collect and decipher the traffic between Snapchat's servers and users.

Snapchat offers an AI Caption feature that uses AI to analyze the image in your Snap and generate a caption based on its content. The feature is currently only available in a limited number of regions, including the US and UK and can only be used by Snapchat+ members. You can create AI Captions on Snapchat by taking a Snap first and then navigating to T icon > AI captions.
My AI Snaps is an AI image generation tool in Snapchat that lets you create images based on text prompts and send them as Snaps to your friends. The feature is currently only available to Snapchat+ subscribers in the U.S. The feature has mixed results, and requires a bit of trial and error to get the best results.
The Hourglass emoji on Snapchat indicates that your Snapstreak with a friend is expiring soon. When this emoji first shows up, you have about four hours to send a Snap to your friend and maintain your streak with them. If you miss the warning and your Snapstreak expires, you can restore it within 48 hours.
Snapchat does not show the friend lists of other users to prevent their privacy and reduce cases of harassment and bullying. Some workarounds to this includes finding familiar people from the Quick Add list and checking the Mutual Friend tag. There's also the obvious way, that is, approaching your friends about their Snapchat friend list directly.
To learn if someone has unfriended you on Snapchat, you can check for certain clues in the app. These include checking the "My Friends" list, looking for an "x" icon, visiting their profile page, noticing missing calling options and more. These signs can help determine if someone has unadded you on the app.
The green dot on Snapchat indicates a user has been recently active on the app. Snapchat calls it Activity Indicator and it can only be located inside the Add Friends screen. If you don't want others to share your activity status, you can disable it in the Snapchat app's settings.
Some conversations on Snapchat may show an "x" icon next to them to indicate that the person you are chatting with is not on your friends list. If this happens for someone who you're already friends with, it means that this user may have removed you as a friend. You can remove the "x" icon by accepting any pending requests, asking others to accept your requests, clearing conversations, re-logging into your account, force closing the Snapchat app, or clearing the app cache.
Snapchat is testing a new Snapchat Plus feature, allowing users to add a new friend to their profile in the form of AI Bitmoji pets. This feature will allow Snapchat+ users to create realistic or imaginary pets using AI. These pets will then be shown standing right next to you on the Snap Map whenever a friend checks your location. Does this feature have any other use? Not really.
If you are unsure if someone has blocked you on Snapchat or not, then try out the methods in our guide to confirm your suspicion. To find out if someone has blocked you on Snapchat, we first suggest you to log out and log back into your account. Then, check your recent chats if the recipient appears in it or not, look for delivered texts, check profile details, look for their name in the Friends list, and more.
Snapchat launched its latest AI-powered feature called Snapchat Dreams to allow users to generate AI selfies with ease. This feature requires users to take selfies, feed them to the AI, and it then outputs up to 8 generative AI selfies by placing them against an imaginative backdrop. It could resemble a royal banquet during the Renaissance period or a mermaid amidst a deep seascape.
Snapchat now lets you use AI to extend your photos before sharing them to Stories or with friends as Snaps. Called Extend Snaps, this feature is currently limited to Snapchat Plus users. It uses AI to add a zoomed out effect to your images, filling out the background. To use the Extend Snaps feature, click a picture in the app and tap the crop icon on the right, and then tap Extend at the bottom of the screen.
Snapchat+ is the paid tier of the popular app that unlocks access to many cool features. Anybody can subscribe to it and distinguish themselves from others by paying a small monthly price. To know if someone has subscribed to Snapchat Plus, look for an elusive star icon next to another person's profile name, as you will only find it on the profile of a Snapchat Plus user.
