          In the passage "What is Snapchat" by "Adrien Covert" the two year old app, Snapchat, is analyzed on what the app actually does and what major achievements it has made in its two years of existence. The company was founded a little over two years ago by a group of undergrad Stanford students. The company is essentially a mobile photo and video sharing service. The app is available in both Android and iOS devices and is built on a single premise: anything on Snapchat self-destructs after the recipient has viewed the photo/video or the message can vanish 24 hours after being posted upon using the new Snapchat Stories feature. Both videos and photos can range from 1-10 seconds and can be annotated using texts and marker tools.
