Like every other social media site, you’ll get spam in the form of random people or bots trying to send you advertisements and fake promotions.
If someone not on your friends list tries to send you a snap, you’ll receive a notification that you have a "snap" waiting, but you won’t see what they sent you until you add them to your friends list. Make sure both of those settings are set on “my friends” so you have greater control over the media you send and receive. In both cases there is a "my friends" and an "everyone" option. The other controls who can send you photos. One controls who can see the content you post. On this app they can take pictures and draw on them but it doesn’t allow them to send those pictures to anyone. All social media platforms have their pros and cons, and everyone uses them differently, but I think Snapchat has its own unique shittiness.Have younger children? Consider the Snapkidz app is a good alternative for children under 13. I wasn’t really expecting such a grand change from one small adjustment in my life but it’s kinda magical haha.
You can’t open a snap and respond at your own pace due to the stigma of “o-bombing” or “r-bombing” your recipient.Īnyways, I deleted the app a few days ago and have felt a weight lift off my shoulders. Snapchat keeps you hooked - You can’t view Snaps until you open it up, which forces you to stay engaged in the conversation. This makes it a waste of time in my opinion if I want to use my phone for communication I’d rather use it for conversation of some substance. Snapchat is intended for very “shallow” conversation - It’s all about just sending pictures that delete in a couple seconds, resulting in people sending pictures of their toast. Snapchat, in my opinion, is in a very weird grey area where I add people I don’t necessarily know that well, but I will continue to see their stories I don’t really care about, which negatively impacts one’s psyche. Snapchat is in a weird “middle ground” - Instagram is very public, while text messaging is very personal. Here’s a few points summarized from a video I made on the topic: I deleted the app a few days ago and already noticed I’m getting more things done in life. I always hear people hating on Instagram and Facebook, but I find Snapchat can be even worse for mental health and wellness.
