What is it? Snapchat is a mobile app and service for sharing photos, videos, and messages with other people. Once you view a message received via Snapchat, it is automatically deleted. This makes the service ideal for sharing quick updates with friends without accumulating media or messages on your mobile device.
Pros: You have to be 13 years old to use Snapchat. It has a clean and appealing interface. Snapchat gives safety to users. Snapchat allows very short videos. Snapchat content is self-destructive. Share your stories with friends and family.
Cons: The Snapchat audience is limited. Stories you share are only for a limited time span. People find Snapchat rather addictive. There is no re-sharing option.
How to stay safe: Don’t add people you don’t know to your friend list. Block strangers who try contacting you. Don’t send inappropriate snaps. Keep your location private. Don’t give out personal information over Snapchat. Be honest about your age.
