Snapchat ‘After Dark’ Feature Explained
Snapchat has officially launched its ‘After Dark’ feature. This new feature has a core similarity to the newer app known as Be Real, in regards to exclusivity. On Be Real you are only able to see your friend’s posts if you post yours as well. The urge to see the content makes it much more likely that users will choose to post their own. This means you cannot see your friends ‘After Dark’ content unless you post content as well.
What Is Snapchat After Dark?
Snapchat After Dark is a newer feature launched on Snapchat to add some mystery and exclusivity. You can now add a Snap to a Story called “After Dark.” This feature is only available to post in from 8 pm-5 am on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
