Peek a Peek is a premium feature available exclusively to Snapchat Plus subscribers. To turn it on Snapchat, go to your profile, tap your Snapchat+ membership card at the top, and toggle 'Peek a Peek' on.

Once the Peek a Peek feature is active, you will see a '👀' emoji next to the conversation in your Chat feed when they half swipe into it. This feature applies to both one-on-one conversations and group chats on Snapchat.

However, it's essential to understand that Snapchat does not notify you when someone is peeking. The only way you can be aware of it is if you happen to be actively viewing your Chat feed while the other person is peeking.
