Results: Snapchat and it disappears?
Snapchat is a really popular app and currently has more active users than Instagram. The app allows individuals to send pictures and videos of themselves that will be deleted within a few seconds from the user’s phone (Android or iPhone) and the Snapchat server. Despite its popularity, many parents are stating that the app is dangerous because many teenagers are using it to send sexy pictures and videos of themselves, knowing that the videos and pictures will disappear. Parents are arguing that the pictures/videos do not always disappear if someone takes a screen shot, which they can then distribute via text or online.
