>> it self-destructs after a certain amount of time.
>> you set up a time up to 10 seconds . hey this is great. send that embarrassing photo and you don't want it to go public, use this app. it's so far from the truth. not what's happening. back when you look at the privacy guidelines of the app themselves, they say, we to not guarantee the privacy. the issue is, when i get a sena snapchat. i would get another recording device and capture that image or video before i open that snapchat. it's not private.
