Snapchat’s message replay option has gotten a very important update

We know about the new and improved Faceswap, but did you know this?

Snapchat has put out a practical update that seems to have gone largely unnoticed.

Remember when you could only replay one snap a day, and Snapchat was offering you the opportunity to purchase three replays at a time?

Well, that’s been completely done away with according to reports in both The Verge and Tech Insider.

That’s right: now you can replay every snap you receive, rather than just being entitled to a single replay in a 24-hour time period.

There is one condition to this, though: the unlimited replays are only active if you remain in on the left side of the app (where all your received snaps are.). If you go to reply and try and replay more than once after exiting your snap inbox, you’ll only be able to relive that memory a single time.

This will come in very handy, but it’s probably going to mean a lot more screenshots.
