SnapChat is an Android app that lets you send quick messages to one or many people.

It's a great alternative to what used to be MMS: multimedia messages can be sent over a WiFi or cell data connection to either one or many friends or followers. What sets this app apart from similar ones is its peculiar "ten second policy". It allows the recipients of your message to see your photo messages for a maximum of ten seconds, and the app advertises that there's no way for recipients to permanently save your messages or view them for longer than that amount of time. That being said, there have been apps released over the years that have claimed to bypass this feature, so use caution.

SnapChat used to be only for pictures, but now it allows for text messages and even short video messages. As its funding and userbase have grown, its become easier to use, and it has always been completely free. It also links to other social media accounts, like Twitter and Facebook, so it's easy to get started.

Many people flocked to SnapChat in the hopes of finding a completely anonymous photo and video sharing app. However, there are some grave privacy concerns with this app, and there is no guarantee that your communications aren't being saved by the owners of SnapChat. If you don't have security or privacy concerns, SnapChat doesn't really have any downside. It's a fast and fun way to share content quickly. Especially now that it has a "story" feature that allows for sharing during 24 hour periods rather than the customary ten seconds, it's an increasingly versatile platform.

Share photos that disappear in ten seconds.

Snapchat is a free Android app allows you to send images to your friends and have them evaporate like magic ten seconds later. You can add up to 40 characters of text and manipulate your images with fun filters, stickers, and more. With video sharing options and a Snapchat Stories feature, your friends will always be up to date on what’s going on with you.

With the Capture button, you can start a face-to-face video chat. Although Snapchat does not have a feature that allows you to save your snaps, there are other apps out there that do, so please be careful what you decide to share.

Stay in touch with your friends and family with the Snapchat app.

This is a fun app to use that lets you share pictures and videos with friends and family. You can also send short messages or add captions with the images that you share. One of the things to keep in mind is that the images you share won't stay around for long, so the people who are looking for updates need to view them as soon as they can. You can add mustaches to the people in the pictures or other fun drawings. Select how long you want others to see the pictures you post, such as a second or 10 seconds.
