SNAPCHAT 101:
Snapchat is a picture or video messaging app. Snaps can be sent to one or more friends. Snaps and chats  are deleted once they’ve been viewed by all recipients, unless you add them to your Story, in which case they disappear after 24 hours. They cannot be recovered after they've been sent or deleted. There is also a feature that places users on a map so their friends can see exactly where they are.

Mrs. Giron says: Use with caution. There is NO benefit to children using snapchat. There are, however a lot of risks. Even with supervision many photos and conversations may go unseen.
