Meh. Not really. Although at first it seems the only purpose of Snapchat is to send nude or illegal pictures, I use it frequently and 99% of the time not to that purpose. If you like sending captioned pictures that are forced to be live - you can't send screenshots or pictures you've preciously taken - it can be a fun way to stay in touch with people. Honestly, most of the pictures I send and receive on Snapchat are selfies with captions. For instance I woke up this morning and my friend had sent me a Snapchat of her looking beat, and captioned it "16 hours of sleep and I still feel like death." I sent her one of me making a face back captioned "I'm awake."

I think some people use Snapchat like texting. My #1 Snapchat "best friend" (they rank your top three) is my cousin who lives in TN. Instead of texting we snapchat to each other.

Yes I have used Snapchat for more...dubious purposes but it is very rarely, and it's partially because I know you can take screenshots. And also I just try not to document anything that's going to get me in potential trouble with my employer, even if (theoretically) the picture disappears after a few seconds.

Point is, people don't use snapchat just to send pictures they don't trust to regular texting. It has become it's own thing.

Is my apostrophe right?
