Got Snapchat recently and want your opinion on it.
Some things I like: public snaps that can keep you up to date and more aware of the world around you.
Things I don’t like: 24/7 friend locations, from the fact that anyone knows where you are and that Snapchat will sell your location data to advertisers.
Would also like to know more about etiquette on the app.

    I’ve never understood the point of it. So I can send pictures and message people? How is that different from any other messaging app I can use? 🤷

      It was cool back when it was new. I stopped using it when I… I don’t know actually. One day I just uninstalled it.

    Everyone I know that uses Snapchat only uses it to take pictures with filters, and save them to the gallery.

    I really don’t care about it, and I don’t think I ever will.

    From the bottom of my heart - I hate it.

    For some reason it caught on as the go-to messaging app for casual conversations for folks my generation (in my country at least).

    Deleted my account roughly a year ago.

    I tried it over a decade ago, the 3rd party app on windows phone I was using was pulled and so I had no desire to use it once I was on iOS and android a few years later.

    Never really saw the appeal of “stories” feels like attention seeking to me. Sending shitpost photos that you don’t care to keep to friends makes a little more sense but still not my bag
