Overview
Snapchat is a camera and messaging app made by Snap Inc. It is designed mainly for Android and iOS, and Snapchat can also be used for chatting on the web. The app is free.
Snapchat opens straight to the camera, so you can quickly send photos and short videos, called Snaps, to friends. Snaps and chats are designed to disappear by default after they are viewed, though recipients can still take screenshots. Lenses add augmented-reality effects to your face and surroundings, Stories let you share moments for 24 hours, and Snap Map can show your location to friends if you choose to share it. An optional paid subscription, Snapchat+, adds extra features.
Snapchat is especially popular with teenagers and young adults for everyday messaging. Parents can use Family Center to see who their teen is communicating with. Keep Snap Map in Ghost Mode if you do not want to share your location. Download it from the official app stores or use snapchat.com.
