What is Snapchat? It is a great way of sharing everyday moments with your family and friends. Along with games, entertainment, news to name but a few. You record, share and after a while disappear (You can save them also, so you don´t lose them)
It is one of many messenging apps with a difference, rather than typing a message, you take a video or photo instead. You can also add filters and different effects to your photos.

All you need is to download the app from the app store, then complete your name, email and date of birth. You will have a choice of usernames, silly ones are most popular with the teens!
You c an add your contacts or search for your friends.
