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 🥹

Third party apps haven't been a thing for a while, people were saving snaps without notifying the user who sent the pictures, resulting in the whole thing going against their purpose (and why they got popular - mostly sending nudes because they disappeared).

So they cracked down pretty hard.

In terms of privacy, assume nothing on the platform is private.
