I'll keep using snapchat because I send my brother our family dogs and he sends me back snaps of pigeons on his balcony or of the dogs people walk in the city outside his window.

We use it for daily stuff like "hey check out this sick pattern I made when I dropped coffee grounds".

One, I'm paying for MMS messages, two, it's also vids.

I use whataspp for that but I noticed a lot of my American friends don't use it bc most of them have iphones.

Snapchat is fucking ridiculous, so good. I get that it’s a way to stay in contact with people - as is most social media - but when I see teenagers/young adults on the train telling other people to shut the fuck up so they can snap (is that what it’s called?) then that’s a problem.
