Snapchat has always had the same baseline. It was always an image messaging system that allows somebody to send a picture up to a maximum of ten seconds. Snapchat now versus Snapchat then still have a lot of similarities. For example, you still have bestfriends on snapchat. You may not be able to see them like you used too, but you still have them. Another comparison between the two, is that you still have a snap score. A snap score is raised every time you send or receive a snapchat. So,

First it was just photos, then screenshots, then face recognition came, and now most recently something called “snapchat maps. The amount of content and personal details Snapchat has collected of our lives is astounding; however, everyone looks past it. Snapchatting is a different a fun way to communicate, which is why it is so popular and what encourages people to look past all that we give them. Snapchat currently has 173 million users, which just shows how much access to people everywhere around the world. It knows our name, location, birthday, email, phone number, and even more than we can imagine. Until doing this project I was one of these people, blinded by how much I was truly giving away about myself, but now after looking through their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, I truly have learnt a great deal.

Snapchat is a photo sharing app where people can send photos and videos, better known as “snaps,” to each other. The app has gained a lot popularity in such little time, being the third most used social media app, trailing behind Facebook and Instagram. It is home to more than 30 million users worldwide, ranging in age, race, gender, etc. What makes Snapchat so unique is that the snaps only last for a brief amount of time before they self-destruct, automatically being deleted from the server. Many users praise such an app that can delete private information in a timely order without it being traced back to them. However, with many discrepancies recently happening with the app, it’s leading many to wonder if this app is as trustworthy as it claims to be.

Brands and companies that use Snapchat have really helped the public relations objective and allowed them to become more interactive with their customers and followers. Having a Snapchat is relatively inexpensive

Snapchat is an app that allows people to send a picture of themselves that can only be seen for no longer than 10 seconds, after that, it's gone. It was created by a group of fraternity brothers from Stanford University as a way of "sexting". High school students heard about it and they suggested that it was less about sex and more about self expression (growthhackers.com). According to FOX News, Maxwell Morton sent a picture through snapchat to his friend. The picture Morton had sent him appeared to be a teenage male with a wound on his face with a caption that read, "Told you I cleaned up the shells. He isn't the last one." The friend took the picture to the police and the police had then confirmed that the man in the picture was deceased. The police contacted Morton and took him to juvenile detention on the charges of first-degree murder of Ryan Managan. Morton was later charged as an adult (Q13 FOX

This semester I was a lot more involved than the previous semester. After settling down and getting used to the college atmosphere. I found that there was a lot more to do and get involved with than I previously thought. Some of things things I got involved with range from sporting events, class snapchat, major spotlight, career service (job shadows), dome concerts, union trivia, art exhibition, and UNI research studies. While participating in these activities I gained friends, experience, and memorizes. These activities made freshman year fly by and also gave me a feeling of what it is like to be a Panther. Also just experience a few things that UNI has to offer.

“Snap map is used for stalking people,” states junior Lizzy King. The recently released feature on Snapchat shows a person’s exact location, even the street address of friends on Snapchat even maps people when they are sleeping, driving, and even listening to music. It is hard to believe an app can possess such invasive abilities. It also shows their bitmoji on the map. This can be taken the wrong way and used to stalk people from the comfort of their own home. Although this was made with fun-loving intentions, some people have made it an obsession to look at other locations. A way to avoid being seen is turning on “ghost mode.” Which ensures no one, not even close friends, can see a person on this map. This feature also can be disarmed by

What is Snapchat? Snapchat lets you easily talk with friends through photos and videos, view Live Stories from around the world, and explore news in Discover. Life's more fun when you live in the moment!

Today, there are countless amounts of filters on Snapchat that either make you look prettier or uglier. While users Snapchat other users, they use filters as a virtual makeup, altering their looks. While filters meant to make users look prettier are used to hide flaws, users also found ways to hide flaws by using filters meant to make the user look uglier. When a filter, such as making lips look over-sized is applied, both the sender and receiver of the Snapchat know that the person in the photo will look ridiculous, which tells the people who see the photo that the person in the photo does not actually look like that in real life; it is simply an illusion. Instinctively, the receiver of the photo will perceive the person in the photo as being prettier and is forced to guess what the person in the photo actually looks like.

When exploring the app, you can find different, fun filters to take pictures or videos with. You could easily become the life of the party by sending hilarious pictures of you dressed up in a Santa Claus suit dancing to a Christmas song. It all depends on how you feel! Or you could be an alien from space! The possibilities are endless and the great thing about it is that snap chat updates new filters often. You’ll never want to stop!

Why does society feel the need to portray happiness and limit the downfalls of the human experience?

SnapChat is a photo messaging application (App) developed by Evan Spiegel and Robert Murphy. Both of the founders were Stanford students. The application was initially developed for a project at Stanford. This app allows the user to share photos, videos, add text/drawings, and send them to a controlled list of recipients. Users have the benefit of setting a time limit for how long the recipient can view their snaps (Ranging from 1 - 10 seconds), after which the photos/videos will be hidden from the recipient’s device and deleted from SnapChat’s servers. The smalltime college project developed into a huge social media success due to its innovative feature (Magid, 2013).
