SnapChat Explanation

Snap Chat In the past decade many electronic devices had been released. Many of them had their time in the spot light, but one device made its debut and just hasn’t left that spot light yet. The iPhone was created by the company Apple, and since its release people have found more and more uses for it. These uses were created because of the invention of apps or applications, which are programs that can be used for certain purposes. Now in our modern time most people have found the iPhone as a necessity when using any social media application, looking at a GPS, finding out random information, and even as an alarm clock. One of the most popular applications around at the moment is Snap Chat, which is a semi-new form of social media. The application Snap Chat was created in September of 2011 by a group of Stanford university students. To set up an account the potential user must download the application from the app story. When the application is downloaded the user chooses the option “Make an Account”. Once this option is chosen the application requires very basic information such as a user name and password. After making an account the user is able to find friends by either searching for their friend’s whole name, or their friend’s user name. In the application users are able to take a photo or video of anything they would like. Once this photo or video is taken they are able to use a maximum of thirty three characters to write a description of the photo or video. Also, users are able to use a doodle option where they can draw over their photo or video. After this is done, the user is able to choose how long they want their friends to see their photo after they send it. They have the option between one to ten seconds. When it comes to a persons friends list, every person has their average friends and then up to at least three best friends. These friends are defined as “best” because they are the people a person send pictures and videos to the most or vice
