You know that pic you wished you had not sent? You know… that picture. Well, if you used the Snapchat app, it’s like you didn’t. People using the app send messages, pictures, and even video that quickly disappear, so there’s no pressure to look cool… or worrying that the receiver will have permanent “dirt” on you (think: angry ex with that nude Valentine’s Day pic you sent). If someone cheats and tries to take a screenshot of your snap to keep, the app notifies you.
