Review of the Snapchat App
Social networks are actively used by many people today. And you can often come across new platforms, and now it’s worth considering Snapchat, to understand what it is.
It is important to start with the fact that the software is popular in the West, where investments have skyrocketed and reached the $4 billion mark. Of course, such figures are of interest, and I want to understand what to expect.
What is this application?
To put it as briefly as possible, Snapchat is a service that allows you to send photos to your friends that are shown for no more than 10 seconds. That is, after opening the photo, it is almost immediately deleted automatically.
In fact, the idea is very strange, but it quickly attracted the attention of millions of users.
A bit of history and statistics
Because the idea is really strange, many investors failed to take it seriously. But since there was not much diversity in social networks, this project began to become more and more popular. And now many investors regret their decision.
This service originally appeared in 2011 as a student service. A year after launch, 25 new photos were uploaded every second. After another year of use, 8773 photos were loaded per second.
Now everyone can install this software on their smartphone, and the operating system can be either iOS or Android. Snapchat is completely free.
Of course, to start using you need to go through a small registration process and provide your data.
Usage
In order to send a photo, you just need to click on the big round button. You can set up the camera in advance, or do it while using the software.
Possible settings:
- You can set the time to show photos to friends, from 1 to 10 seconds.
- Save photo to phone memory.
- An editor that helps you work on your photo.
After preparation, you can send everything.
