You now have the ability to modify the optimization window for your Snapchat ad sets. Previously, all ad sets were automatically set to use a 28-day swipe-up and 1-day view optimization window (28-1). However, with the new update, for the 'Pixel Purchases' optimization goal, you can select a 7-day swipe-up and 0-day view optimization window (7-0).
Snap Inc. has been recommending this optimization window specifically for those using the Pixel Purchases goal, as it is expected to yield improved performance.
Currently, the 7-0 optimization window is only available for the Pixel Purchases goal. Snap is evaluating the possibility of extending this feature to other goals as well.
