Snapchat is a popular multimedia messaging app that allows users to send photos and videos, known as 'Snaps', which disappear after being viewed. Launched in 2011, it has become a favorite among younger audiences for its fun filters and ephemeral content, encouraging spontaneous sharing.
In addition to messaging, Snapchat features Stories, where users can post Snaps that remain visible for 24 hours. The app also includes various interactive elements like games and augmented reality (AR) lenses, making it a dynamic platform for communication and creativity. Its unique approach to social interaction has significantly influenced how people connect online.
