Both instant messaging and social network, Snapchat has grown significantly since its inception. And if the app is primarily aimed at a young audience, nothing prevents you from tasting it by taking advantage of its many fun features.
Snapchat is a free mobile app that serves as both instant messaging and social networking. It mainly appeals to a young audience, thanks to its playful side and its many visual effects (the famous filters). We discuss, exchange photos and videos but not only. You can publish stories (short, funny and ephemeral videos, like on TikTok) and subscribe to those of others. The content published in the stories comes from both celebrities and more traditional media. If Snapchat has been enriched over the years, it has retained its particularity: photos and videos automatically disappear after a few hours. One way to stay spontaneous.
Snapchat is intended for mobile use only, with the website primarily serving as a storefront. To use Snapchat, just download the app, enter an email address, date of birth and you can start chatting with your friends.
