In this Step-by-Step guide, we cover What SnapChat is, some of the privacy concerns, and How to Delete Your SnapChat Account.
What is Snapchat?
Snapchat is a popular multimedia instant messaging app. It has been dubbed the “new camera” because users can utilize it to capture photos and videos, apply filters from an array of choices, and share them with their network. What makes Snapchat different from most is that the photos and videos, called “snaps” are only visible for a limited period of time.
The downside of SnapChat and other social media apps is the riskof exposing your personal information.There are also websites that collect and sell your information, called Data Brokers. Data Brokers collect your social media info as well as other types of personal information. This puts you at risk for identity theft.
