One thing I don't get Snapchat is that if I use an iPhone (Android probably has other way to do so), I can always make a screenshot whenever I open your naughty pictures, right? So what's the point even if the naughties get deleted in a few seconds, if I have a local copy anyway?

I know I don't belong to the targeted demographics, just out of curiosity.

Its meant to be like talking. No record by default. Sure you can "hack it" and keep a copy.. but you can tape record a spoken conversation also, right? Just not 100% of every spoken words won't be written down, just like 100% of snapchats won't be saved by the end users.

Now I got the social piece. Thanks for the explanation.

It sends a notification back to the sender if you do that.
