What is Snapchat?

Snapchat is a mobile messaging application that lets you share photos, videos, text, and drawings that expire and automatically delete themselves after a set time, ranging from a few seconds up to 24 hours. It’s available on devices running Google’s mobile operating system, Android or Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS – that translates to devices like Samsung’s few.Galaxy phones, Sony’s Xperia phones, and iPhones. Snapchat CEO, Evan Spiegel originally pushed the concept as a class project during his time at Stanford University, but it took the help of fellow students Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown to turn it into a functioning reality. One of the most unique things about Snapchat is the ephemeral components of all the content that gets shared on it. Photos and videos essentially disappear a few seconds after they’ve been viewed by their recipients. Building on its massive success, Snapchat eventually gave users their own sort of news feed feature where they could post photos and videos that could be viewed by their friends as a story clip rather than as a private or group message.
