Since your account activities won’t be updated, your snap will be displayed as New Snap even after you’ve opened it multiple times by switching on airplane mode.

Although you’ve viewed the new snap it will still be displayed as unopened as your account activity wasn’t updated because your device was in airplane mode. Therefore you can apply the same thing to view it repeatedly. 

How to Reopen Snaps on Snapchat Unlimited Times:

When a snap is viewed with the device being kept on airplane mode, it isn’t considered or updated as a viewed or opened snap, rather it will still be displayed as a ‘New Snap‘ on your chatbox.

Therefore, if you want to reopen a snap unlimited times you can do it every time by turning on airplane mode before clicking on the chat to open the New Snap. Every time you view a snap, you’ve to uninstall the Snapchat application then and there before turning off airplane mode or connecting your phone to any WiFi connection.

Therefore, each time you view the snap, no information about your activity is updated on the server because of the absence of data or wifi connection. But these tricks can only work for the snaps that you’ve never opened previously.

Once you’ve viewed or opened it, it’s marked as Received and can’t be opened for another time. But for the snaps that you’ve viewed after turning on the flight mode, you can view them unlimited times by uninstalling and reinstalling Snapchat every time you open the snap.
