      I never understood that. Apparently they use it as a primary way of messaging each other? At least that’s what younger relatives have told me. I’ve tried to have them explain what makes the app designed to hide/delete stuff after it’s been read better for communication, but so far haven’t gotten an explanation I could make any sense of.

        Yeah my brother says its the main way to talk to girls, which sexting was its original purpose so makes sense. But also the streak system and ease of picture messaging I think keeps people using it.

          I guess I’m too boomer to understand it, because I hate the idea of “picture messaging. Text is so much easier to interact with

      Tbh I only know 2-3 people who use it actively. Most use instagram DMs. I like snapchat for the face filters though
