What is Snapchat? • You've probably heard about Snapchat. It's the popular mobile app that allows

you to send videos and pictures, both of which will self destruct after a few seconds of a person viewing them.

• Snapchat is also a fun messaging app. You can capture a photo or brief video with it, then add a caption or doodle or filter/lens over top, and send the finished creation (called a snap) to a friend. Alternatively, you can add your snap to your "story", a 24-hour collection of all your snaps that’s broadcasted to the world or just your followers.• Source -
