Homonym: snaps (Photos)
Snaps are short, temporary messages or images shared through the social media platform Snapchat. Users can take photos or videos, add text or drawings, and send them to friends. These messages disappear after being viewed, making them a popular choice for casual communication.
In addition to one-on-one messaging, snaps can be shared in Stories, which allow users to post content visible to all their friends for 24 hours. This feature encourages creativity and spontaneity, as users can share moments from their day without the permanence of traditional social media posts.
