In the wonderful world of social media platforms, there is always something that we might not know about it. Applications like Snapchat are evolving every day by adding new features, upgrading their interface, or even dumping the features that might not be useful anymore.
Snapchat
Snapchat is a messaging app that allows users to send texts, photos, videos, and drawings. It also allows users to add filters, lenses, and other effects to their photos and videos.
The app was created by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown. Spiegel and Murphy were students at Stanford University, and Brown was a friend of theirs. The three of them came up with the idea for Snapchat while they were working on a class project.
Snapchat was originally launched as a way for people to send disappearing photos and videos to each other. However, the app has since evolved and now offers a lot more than just disappearing content.
This messaging service has become very popular, especially among young people. As of May 2019, Snapchat has over 190 million daily active users.
What Does the Lock Mean on Snapchat?
You might have stumbled upon some stories in Snapchat with a purple padlock next to it and wondered what is that supposed to mean. At first, it may look like that the snapper of the story has chosen to lock you out of the shared content but that’s quite the contrary.
