## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **Snapchat** is a popular messaging software that allows users to send and receive photos and videos (called snaps) that are designed to vanish after being seen. It's billed as a 'new form of camera' because its primary function is to take a photo or video, edit it with filters, lenses, or other effects, and then share it with friends.
- After you've customised your snap, you can share it to anyone on your contact list or add it to your narrative, which is a **24-hour** record of your day that your friends can watch.
