Snapchat is a messaging app where pictures and messages are only available for a short period of time.

If you’re interested in social media, then you’ve probably heard about Snapchat. It’s quickly gaining in popularity, with more users joining every day. So, just what is this new social media app and is it worth downloading and using?

Snapchat allows users to share texts, photos and video (referred to by the app as “snaps”) like many other messaging apps. The main difference is any media shared to Snapchat is only available for a short period of time. Once someone exits out of the content that was shared, it will no longer be available. The app was originally designed for person-to-person messaging, but it has since evolved to allow users to share content and media with all of their friends through the use of “Stories”.

Another unique feature of Snapchat is the wide array of filters that are available. When people share photos or videos, they can add a wide array of captions, graphics, and drawings to personalize their content. These include visual effects, stickers, geographical overlays and cartoon avatars.

Perhaps the most popular thing about Snapchat is the “Lenses” feature. This allows users to use face-detection technology to add real-time effects to their snaps. This technology incorporates augmented reality to add a variety of 3D elements to media, which can provide loads of fun. You can turn yourself or your friends into dogs, replace your eyes with hearts, or make it look like you’re shooting a rainbow out of your mouth. These are just a few of possibilities that lenses provide. The options are virtually endless.

So, why has Snapchat become so popular?

When it comes to taking and sharing photos, no app makes it easier than Snapchat. You can take and edit photos within the app and easily add a variety of effects to enhance the image. Users also love the fact that when you take a selfie with Snapchat the image doesn’t get flipped.

There’s also a certain level of privacy that you don’t get with other social media apps. Since content is only available for a short period of time, there’s less chance that any compromising photos or videos can be seen by people they weren’t intended for. You can also easily select who your content gets shared with, and who won’t be seeing it.

In addition to seeing content from your friends and family, you can see content from your favorite websites as well. Snapchat’s Discover feature allows you to search for and find media from sites like BuzzFeed, ESPN, Cosmopolitan and more that you can then share with your followers.

Snapchat started as something that was just for you and your friends, but a number of celebrities have also gotten on to the platform. You can now use the app to follow your favorite celebrities and get a glimpse into their daily life.

Simply put, if you love sharing photos and videos, there’s no better way to do it than Snapchat. Download the app today to get in on the fun!
