Share This:

Snapchat is a messaging app that allows users to send photos and videos that will delete themselves after a set amount of time. The app offers end-to-end encryption, which means that the messages are encrypted when they are sent and decrypted when they are received. This prevents anyone other than the sender and recipient from being able to see the messages.

The app also offers a Secret Snap feature, which automatically captures and saves photos when someone tries to unlock your device or your locked applications. The app has a screenshot capture notification, which alerts the sender when the recipient takes a screenshot of the photo or video.

Snapchat also offers a wide range of filters and lenses that can be used to change the way your photos and videos look. These include filters that add text, drawings, or animations to your photos and videos, as well as lenses that change the way your face looks.
