Snapchat is the leading social media platform on the internet, given the fact that Snapchat users share more photos and videos on Snapchat more than the combination of photos and videos shared on Facebook and Instagram. However, users should be mindful of their privacy and data security while using a reputation-destructive photo app like Snapchat.

Different privacy leak scandals have been recorded with Snapchat over the years. The most prominent is the 200,000-leaked celebrity nude photo scandal of October 2014, which was captioned Snappening. The lesson we all learnt was that if the celebrities had managed their Snapchat history and security appropriately, that scandal would not have happened.
