Snapchat application:

It is a social networking application for recording,
broadcasting and sharing video messages developed
by Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, then students at
Stanford University. Evan Spiegel was born on June 4,
1990 in Los Angeles, California, United States. He
studied at Stanford University and is an American Internet entrepreneur and co-
founder of the Snapchat application. He served as CEO of Snapchat.

Snapchat users can take photos, record videos, add text and drawings, and send them
to a controlled list of recipients. These sent photos and videos are known as
“snapshots.” Users set a time limit to
display their snaps from one to ten
seconds, after which the messages are
deleted from the recipient's device and
deleted from Snapchat's servers as well.
However, some applications that save the
displayed video have been programmed
using a simple principle, which is to hack
Snapchat in a simple, repeated way. The application has been subjected to takeover
attempts from several companies. It is distinguished by the yellow color in all its
advertisements and advertisements. As of March 2020, the number of Snapchat users
reached 229 million daily active users. On average, more than 4 billion Snaps are sent
daily and Snapchat is known to be very popular among younger generations, especially
those under the age of 16.
