What is Snapchat?
Snapchat is a new social messaging application used to share videos, images, text and drawings. It is free for download and available for Android and iOS devices too. After its release, it becomes so popular in a very short period of releasing among youngsters. The feature which makes Snapchat different from another messaging app is the messages and images which we send or share disappear from the recipient’s phone after a few seconds.
It is very simple to use, just take an image from your operating device and select the recipients from your contact, decide how long the message to be visible for (up to 10seconds) For the recipient, the process is same as like getting a text message, simply tap to view the snap. And the message disappears after the expiring time of 10 seconds.
