Snapchat is a multimedia messaging app used globally, allowing users to send photos, videos, text, and drawings, known as 'snaps', which are only available for a short time before they become inaccessible. The platform also features 'Stories', which are collections of snaps that can be viewed for 24 hours, and 'Discover', a feature that allows media companies to create and share content. Snapchat is known for its innovative use of augmented reality (AR) filters and lenses, making it a popular choice among younger audiences.
