so my friends use snap (im not the biggest fan but it looks fun enough) and i want to use it too to yk yeah yk like 🤫 but im kinda concerned about privacy type shii 🥀 i was considering putting the official app on a work profile, but i thought that it would be good to get a third party client anyway

EDIT: ouu shii im getting mass downvoted but pretty understandable 🥹

If you use* an XMPP client like Jabber, Prosody, or Snikket, I believe you can set do not keep messages on server and they expire. However, I don't think they expire once viewed. Maybe like 24hr.

Unless you're looking for a private front end or something like a 3rd party client? Snap blocked those years ago when people figured out how* to screenshot without alerting the sender.
