Snapchat opens the door to public conversations with new Topic Chats

Snapchat is moving beyond its private-only roots with the launch of Topic Chats, a feature that lets users join public conversations around shared interests like Formula 1, gaming and reality TV. It’s one of the biggest shifts in the app’s social model since its debut.

To maintain safety, profiles remain private to anyone outside a user’s friend list. Display names are visible in Topic Chats, but they can’t be tapped or searched, preventing unwanted contact.

Snapchat says it is using LLM-powered moderation tools, along with human oversight, to keep conversations safe and aligned with its Community Guidelines. Users can report messages, and accounts that break rules may be warned or blocked.

Topic Chats will also surface relevant Spotlight videos, blending public discussion with short-form content. Friends can see what chats each other have joined, helping people discover common interests.

The feature rolls out over the coming weeks in Canada, New Zealand and the U.S., appearing in Chat shortcuts, search, Stories and Spotlight. Messages shared inside Topic Chats will be stored for up to five years.
