Think
Before You Snap
Snapchat is one of the most popular social media apps available. The company claims that anything you send to someone else will be deleted soon after it gets opened. But does Snapchat really erase your photos? On the surface, yes. A few seconds after a picture or video is viewed, it gets deleted from the recipient’s phone — but not from the server. For instance, if you send a picture to a friend, and they don’t open the app to view your photo, that picture will stay on the server. The expiration for anything sent on the app is 30 days, so your picture won’t be permanently deleted for an entire month. When sending a picture, it’s best to assume that it won’t be deleted for a while. Keep in mind that anything you send could potentially
come back to haunt you. The people you send pictures to can screenshot the photos you send, and there’s not much you can do about it after the fact. Also, Snapchat’s Memories feature allows you to save pictures within the app. Snapchat won’t delete anything you put here — you would have to go in and delete the photos or videos yourself for them to be removed. The only way to ensure your photos and videos aren’t floating around in cyberspace without your consent is to refrain from sending them in the first place. Think before you send a picture or video that could harm you or anyone else. It might save you a lot of grief later on.
