What is the snapchat app?

[Ryan]

Snapchat is an app that allows you to send people in your contacts (or someone that you know their username) photos that only last for a certain amount of time, generally 10 seconds is the max. Once these pictures are sent, not even the sender can view them again. In addition to the receiver whom was earlier stated. HOWEVER it is possible to take a screen shot of the photo while it is displayed on the screen thus allowing it to be viewed multiple times, just like a normal photo would on your phone.

I would say more people use this app as a quick means of sending a non too important to a friend or family member that could be silly, or a simple life update (i.e. "Look at this trophy i just got.") But once again in this modern age people are able to send "sexts" or naked photos of themselves via this app because it does not have a form of parental advisory settings.

I hope this answers your question!!
