What Is Snapchat?
Snapchat is a photo-sharing application. Using the app, users can take photos, record videos, write text and drawings, and send them to their friends on the app. These photos and videos are called “Snaps”.
When users send snapshots to friends, they can set a time limit for friends to access “snapshots”. When the time limit ends, these “snapshots” will be completely deleted from friends’ devices and servers on Snapchat.
