Il y a plein de fonctions "mode neige" sur les téléphones cellulaires. Mais je n'en connais aucune qui concerne la messagerie ( quel que soit le medium ).

Les fonctions de ce genre adaptent la prise d'image aux conditions physiques environnantes : soleil, neige aveublante etc. D'où les fonctions "mode neige", "mode plage" etc.
Même chose pour les appareils photos et caméras vidéo.

Asker: I'm not sure if that would be it, as there are more than one sentence with "snow" or "snow mode". Please refer to clarification at the top of the page, to read more example. Thank you for help.
