Snapchat may already notify the sender when you read their message. You can read the message with a half swipe, but neither Snapchat nor the sender will be aware that you did so. This is due to the fact that, technically, you aren’t opening the message, so Snapchat won’t send a read receipt.

Note that this trick only works for reading messages; you can’t view Snaps with a half swipe.
