Snapchat Lingo
Snaps A user takes a photo/video using their digital device/smartphone in real time. The user can select an amount of time between 1 - 10 seconds or choose infinite time for the receiver to view the photo/video. A user can elect to have the photo/video that they have just taken saved into their photo gallery, their ‘My Eyes Only’ folder, or simply sent via Snapchat without being saved on their device. Stories A user can add the photo/video to their ‘Story’. Depending on the user’s privacy settings, the photos/videos added to a story can be viewed by all Snapchat users or just those on their friends’ list for up to 24 hours. Chat Users can type a text message, create a voice message, voice call, or video call within the Snapchat app to their friends using this feature. Once both parties have viewed the message, the message will vanish. The chat settings can also be manually changed within each conversation to be set to disappear after 24 hours instead . Additionally, users can save their chats from disappearing. Photos/videos from the camera roll or gallery of the user’s device can be uploaded and sent within the chat. Group chats often exist between multiple friends. Streaks Seen within the chat log screen, a user’s ‘Snapchat Streak’ is the number of consecutive days that the account owner and a friend have sent at least, but no less than, 1 snap per day to each other. If they do not snap with each other within 24 hours, they lose their streak with their friend (this is a huge deal to today’s youth!)
