Snapchat (for Android)

Snapchat is a boldly unique ephemeral messaging and image-sharing Android app that offers video chatting, disappearing messages, and digital dog masks. It's as bewildering as it is exciting.

Everything in Snapchat is ephemeral. The longest any snap lasts is 10 seconds, although you can replay some.

Though hard to find, Snapchat Lenses are very cool. These are interactive video filters with interesting, and sometimes horrifying, results.

Speak To Me

You can now talk to people in Snapchat.
