16 Reasons to Use Snapchat (Now!)

1. Your family isn’t there yet.

Snap is brand new! According to the US website Business Insider, more than 70% of users are under 25 years old. And that means that chain letters, “good morning” messages and those shaky selfies from your relatives still haven’t found a place in the app, but believe me: that day will come! So enjoy every second as if it were your last!

2. You choose absolutely EVERYTHING what you want to see and who can see it.

Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are great, but they’re based on the concept of a timeline, where you don’t have a lot of power over what you see. There in the world of Snapchat this problem does not exist! You send snaps to whoever you want, you only receive snaps from those you follow back, you control the time that the person will see your video or photo and you are even notified when your “friend” took a screenshot of your image. In addition, there is the “My story” tool, which works more or less like a wall: you can only post your moments there and you can see the moments of others separated by “recency” order. Ah, it is the place that celebrities chose to show that they are people like us – or not.

3. Because of the emojis. <3

They are fun, cute and their meanings make all the difference in the experience. Find it out!

1: It means you are best friends! You send most (or all) your snaps to this person and the reciprocal is true.

2: Your best friend is this person’s best friend too. “Jeez”!

3: It means that one of your best friends is one of that person’s bff’s.

4: You are one of this person’s best friends, but that person is not one of your best friends because you don’t send the same number of snaps as them.

5: You are great friends, but not the best. You, of course, send that person several snaps, but not enough for a yellow <3.

6: Wow! It means you’ve been exchanging snaps several days in a row. The number of days appears in front.

4. For reasons the ballad is funnier!

Your best friend couldn’t make it to the club and she’s playing that awesome song you both LOVE. Why not record a snap? It’s fast, practical and only she will see. But if you prefer, put it in your story and everyone can check how amazing your night was.

Of course, there are people who won’t like it:

6. Because 100 million people are using the app.

Of course, you don’t and don’t have to do what everyone else does, but if 100 million people a month are using the same app, maybe it’s time to pay more attention and see how awesome it really can be.

12. Because the “live” feature is awesome.

In the “my story” section, you have daily access to what is happening in the biggest capitals of the world through the eyes of users. Additionally, major events, such as the recent Met Ball, are streamed in real-time via the feature.

13. Because he’s *The* face of our time.

Fast, urgent, instantaneous. Sounds like a popcorn brand slogan, but it’s Snapchat!
