2. SnapChat
• Snapchat is a photo messaging application developed by
Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown, then
Stanford University students. Using the application, users can
take photos, record videos, add text and drawings, and send
them to a controlled list of recipients.
3. How Snapchat is Used
• During the duration of the viewing period, the recipient must maintain
contact with the device's touchscreen which inhibits taking a
screenshot which is allowed and also notifies the sender if the
recipient were to take a screenshot. After the set time expires, the
image is deleted from the devices and the company's servers. Snapchat
can find the user's friends through the user's smart phone contact list.
