Snapchat is a fast-growing mobile app that lets users share photos and videos that quickly disappear. 

  • Snapchat is an app that allows people to send pictures back and forth for up to ten seconds and then it disappears forever. 
  • Mostly young people or using Snapchat.
  • Some people have called it the next Instagram.
  • People are warned not to put inappropriate things online, but Snapchat kind of opens up new opportunities to send naked pictures. 
  • Seeing as the picture disappears, young people believe they can send naked and risky pictures.
  • Surprisingly, the young people using the app are mostly sending silly pictures and small conversation just because its fun.
  • But, for the people sending racy pictures, the person or people reviving the picture still have the opportunity to take a screenshot.
