How to Half Swipe On Snapchat?

I’m trying to figure out how to half-swipe on Snapchat without fully opening a message. Can someone explain the right way to do it or share any tips to make sure the sender doesn’t get a ‘read’ notification?

To half-swipe on Snapchat, lightly press a chat and slowly drag right without fully opening it. Stop before the screen fills; this lets you preview the message without marking it as read. Release your finger to exit. Note: Snapchat updates may reduce this feature’s reliability.

How to Half-Swipe / Peek

Open Chat on Snapchat.

Hold-and-release your friends Bitmoji/avatar.

Drag slowly on the right-hand side--but do not release.

You’ll see part of the message.

Click the left slide back to close it without noting that it is open.

To half swipe on Snapchat, gently open a message without fully viewing it. Press and hold the chat bitmoji, then slowly drag right to preview the message while keeping the screen partially covered. Don’t release your finger. This lets you read messages without marking them as opened. Release to exit.

Press and hold the chat you want to view, then slowly drag your finger to the right without fully opening the message. Peek at the text, then slide your finger back to close it.

Gently swipe to the right on a chat to half-swipe on Snapchat, without opening. Pause half way and preview the message. Discharge without leaving any trace of it as having been opened.

Making the half-swipe of doing the dragging slowly of your finger right on a chat without dropping it completely.
This allows you to read through messages but not to consider them as opened.
You can only be certain of it if you do not lift your finger or swipe too far.
Sometimes this trick can be altered by the updates in Snapchat.

Another way to use the half swipe in Snapchat is to use a chat message; just touching it carefully on the side, sliding slightly enough to see what is inside the message without fully opening it. The sender will also not receive an opended notification as long as you do not swipe too far. It is such a sensitive action, but once you become better with it you will be able to read messages without anyone noticing.
