When Evan Spiegel (pictured to the left) debuted their idea to the class in April 2011, the other students scoffed at the idea of impermanent photos. Little did they know that this idea would go on to become insanely popular.In 2014, the Snapchat app was the fastest growing social app, boosting a 57-percent growth in the course of the year. While Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook Messenger also had a high rate of growth, none of them could come close to keeping up with the amount of downloads Snapchat was/is getting. While there are many different platforms out there that incorporate images and videos, Snapchat has found a niche in the social media universe. It has become one of the most popular social networks around. And it shows no signs of stopping. Snapchat is a social media app that allows you to take pictures and videos and send them to others without having to worry about whether or not it'll still be there the next day - in particular, worrying about your embarrassing pics and videos. This is because Snapchat was designed to specifically delete or remove the pictures or videos - also called memories - that you post from its database within 24 hours after being posted on its platform. And more than just being about pictures and videos, Snapchat is all about short-term content, also called transient pictures and videos. That is why, by default, all you can see on the app's home screen is just a simple camera view. And with such simplicity, it's very easy and convenient to send your pictures and videos to just about anyone on Snapchat.
