Snapchat’s 6-Second Commercials Now Have Swipe-Up Capabilities

The maximum duration of Snap Ads was upped to 3 minutes

The company said the aim is to give advertisers more creative flexibility and more options for their video ad campaigns.

Boosting the maximum duration of Snap Ads to three minutes checks that box, as Snapchat provided the example of an entertainment studio being able to run a full film trailer ad, rather than a partial trailer that prompts Snapchatters to swipe up in order to view the rest.

Snapchat emphasized that the user experience will not change, and Snapchatters will still interact with ads the same way they always have.
