Comments and Reviews
Because all my friends have it and it a good way to be more social and it’s a GREAT way to communicate and meet new peopt
Harmful. Will gather data on you, but account deletion DOES NOT WORK. Support is aware of the issue and refuses to fix. Plenty of posts on Reddit discussing the ramifications.
Horrible, privacy invasive app. They save info about which device you use, name, email, age, whatever they can get their hands on. And they will save it indefinitely, even if you request removal for reasons like being able to block devices that have posted "offensive memes."
It's full of e-prostys (women who have "premium Snapchat" or otherwise advertises their OF), which Snapchat is perfectly fin with, even though many children are on it.
It also pretends to be safe, deleting messages on the other side. People don't seem to understand it doesn't delete it on a Snapchat servers, only the person you sent to. And there are much better apps for that, like Telegram (which also has E2EE in private chats if you select the option).
Snapchat is a very fun and engaging app.it helps in connecting with friends and family daily life through streaks.
Snapchat is currently part of the same mainstream overhyped, low quality apps that the masses have adopted. Also dark mode is only available on apple devices, not android for whatever reason.
Good app with amazing abilities to communicate with people. Needs to have more organized user interface because everything is everywhere and it seems every new update makes that more so.
Snapchat is the best moment sharing app that supports all platforms. This is a full bundle pack app that gives an option to video call, voice call, photo sharing, text messaging and also moment sharing with stories. This app gets regular updates with new filters and better experience with no lags. The new snapchat spectacles is trending and spreading in the market.
