The user can choose how long his photos will be visible to his correspondent, with a maximum of ten seconds. There may also add text to sixty characters, and draw on it. Recently, it is possible to send short videos which will also be temporary. IM side Snapchat has gained popularity with its latest update. Users can now chat, by writing longer messages. By cons, those texts are not temporary.
Finally, the user has the ability to add pictures taken his story, a sort of timeline. These will then be available for 24 hours, contacts, or everyone by setting parameters. Visually, Snapchat is very clean. But this does not necessarily in his favor: Some features are hard to find, making it very intuitive application.
