What Does Time Sensitive Mean on Snapchat?

What does ‘Time Sensitive’ mean on Snapchat? I’m looking for help understanding why certain notifications are labeled this way and what it means for how I receive them.

The "Time Sensitive" banner is an iOS feature Snapchat uses to flag notifications it deems urgent (like chats from best friends or expiring streaks). These notifications are prioritized and will bypass your iPhone's Do Not Disturb or Focus Mode settings so you see them immediately.

Time Sensitive” notifications on Snapchat (iOS) are ones deemed urgent enough to bypass Focus/Do Not Disturb modes.

“Time Sensitive” on Snapchat means the app prioritizes certain notifications so you don’t miss important snaps or messages. These alerts bypass your device’s notification filters and appear immediately, even in Focus or Do Not Disturb mode, ensuring quick attention.

Snapchat users can designate some of the notifications as time sensitive on iPhones (iOS 15+) and they will appear regardless of Focus or Do Not Disturb mode.
