Features

One of the most important features of Snapchat is that photos shared through the app are supposed to "disappear" after a certain amount of time. This means that the app ensures the photos will not be saved in the phone's library or on the server. This is what gives Snapchat a lot of its appeal, as users of the app can share photos and videos with each other without worrying that others will be able to see them.

Design

The design of the app is based on the idea of having a single photo or video being the focal point, with the other content being at the bottom of the screen. The idea for the design came from Evan Spiegel's childhood, as he had a fear of missing out on the most important moments in life.

Usability

Snapchat is a simple and easy to use app that has been designed for teenagers and adults aged 18 and over. The app is designed to be quick and easy to use, and it is very intuitive as it does not require a lot of effort to figure out how to use it.
