Somebody had probably a lot of fun with the timeline of this app. I don't know it, but it seems contradictory with other sources. Should be addressed by specialists. Lvr (talk) 16:20, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Adding Information on User Privacy and Security
Hello, I am planning to add to the privacy and security section, particularly user privacy and security and how Snapchat changed its policies after getting into legal issues. Also, I added a section on the Snap Spam. I put everything into the article and would appreciate any feedback. Thank you for your time! Arieltinglee (talk) 5/27/14 5:10pm
Logo outdated

Location
the article mentions that the operations for Snapchat are located in Pacific Palisades, CA, however, Snapchat owns a building on the Venice Beach walk, Venice Beach being not very close to Pacific Palisades and definitely not considered such. The Snapchat building is recognizable by not only the Snapchat ghost logo posted on the outside of the house converted to office space, but curiously enough, is surrounded by cameras on all angles of the building, signs posted that say they are being videotapped, and a security guard walking the perimeter. During a recent hit & run on the Venice Beach walk, it was Snapchat's security cameras that captured video evidence of that hit & run in progress from various angles. 173.60.116.143 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:59, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Citation needed for claim that emulator bypasses restrictions
- furthermore, running the Snapchat application in an emulator will bypass all restrictions.[citation needed]
Citation needed? Naturally an emulator allows unrestricted screenshots because they can be done outside the emulated environment and thus completely outside Snapchat's control. Blargg (talk) 22:34, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Please change... "One of the primary ways Snapchat users keep photos is through taking a snapshot. A screenshot is when the user makes their own copy of the photo by taking a photo of their screen while the snap is showing."
to... "One of the primary ways Snapchat users keep photos is through taking a screenshot. A screenshot is when the user makes their own copy of the photo by taking a photo of their screen while the snap is showing."
Because the section is on screenshots and the wording is incorrect. 2607:6500:1:1:F831:3325:BF97:D56E (talk) 00:19, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
iPhone centric
Many sections of this article are written as if the app is only available for iPhone. For example the section on screenshots talks about iOs apps, a camera roll, etc as if there is only one kind of phone in this universe. I detest that kind of closed mindedness and it doesn't belong on wikipedia. PizzaMan (♨♨) 00:55, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Table for Emoji Meanings
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help in adding this table as a subcategory of Features, titled "Emoji Meaning." I am not able to add the Table because of the fact that the Unicode Emojis are tripping a filter from Wikipedia with my new account. Thank you!
Emoji | Emoji Name | Snapchat Meaning |
---|---|---|
🔥 | Fire | You and this other snapchatter have communicated via Snapchat for a number of days straight. (This number will reset after 28 Hours) |
💛 | "Gold" Yellow Heart | You and this other snapchatter are each others Top "Best Friend." |
😬 | Grimace | You and this other snapchatter are "Best Friends", and you both share the same Top "Best Friend." |
💕 | Pink Hearts | You and this other snapchatter have been each others Top "Best Friend" for over 2 months straight. |
❤️ | Red Heart | You and this other snapchatter have been each others Top "Best Friend" for over 2 weeks straight. |
😊 | Smile | They are one of your "Best Friends." |
😏 | Smirk | You are their "Best Friend", but they are not your "Best Friend." |
😎 | Sunglasses | You and this other Snapchater are both "Best Friends" with a 3rd Snapchatter. |

Proposed merger
I propose to merge the article Geofilters to this article, since "Geofilters" are a feature of Snapchat. LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 18:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Don't merge - That page has nothing to do with Snapchat... Technetium-99 (talk) 19:34, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed on not merging that page (Geo-blocking, to which Geofilters redirects) into this article, but perhaps the term “Geofilters” should redirect here instead? I do think Geo-blocking as a concept should be merged with Regional lockout, by the way. —Born2bgratis 23:28, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Don't Merge it doesn't make sense to merge Geofilters since the article isn't actually about Geofilters but geo-blocking. Maybe adding a section on geofilters to the article would be more appropriate? --Cameron11598 (Converse) 02:07, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Massive IP edits
I have concerns about these edits; they sprang up out of nowhere and are only editing this article. Can we check for a COI? ViperSnake151 Talk 21:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Arbitration clause
@Legaleagle00: I removed the section on the arbitration clause as a violation of WP:NPOV, WP:UNDUE, and WP:BALASPS. Also, it is not encyclopedic to place in every business's article whether or not it has an arbitration clause in its consumer contracts. In general, unless the clause has itself received significant coverage (compare General Mills#Change to legal terms), it should not get a special mention in the article. There was a previous RFC on Dollar Shave Club's arbitration clause which is very informative. RJaguar3 | u | t 07:42, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Death injury legal issues
How about a section on deaths, injuries, and lawsuits, here's a start: [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.211.236 (talk) 13:19, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Perhaps more images
It doesn't seem that a lot of additional text is going to be added to this article, but perhaps some images that don't violate copyright of things such as the stickers and lens graphics, and pictures of the three co-founders could be added at some point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.126.77 (talk) 06:21, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
rewrite needed
This article is written from the viewpoint of business development and fans. I couldn't find points to illustrate the notability, except for the buzz it creates. While it is enough for wiki notability, it is not informative. The history parts are microscopically detailed and need an objective merciless edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Setreset (talk • contribs) 04:33, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

@Juneblade:, you seem to edit this article actively. 80.221.159.67 (talk) 03:45, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
I became fascinated with the Snapchat saga ( the lawsuit, expansion, competition w/ Facebook, etc.,) But honestly I've become rather bored. Don't use Snapchat much, one of the olds. Doubt I will be putting on those shades. I had never edited at Wikipedia before, and was on sick leave during much of the Snapchat contributions. Although I made many mistakes, it's fun, and I hope to do some more w/ other articles, but probably never as much as I did on the Snapchat article. Juneblade

India uninstalling snapchat
Why no one mentioned here that after CEO's remark about India, thousands of Indians uninstalled snapchat and gave poor rating in playstore. Company's shares fell by 2% on NYSE. Also, date of the incident mentioned. Scm66188 (talk) 06:01, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Scm66188: We have a section called ""Poor Country" remark" that explains the situation about India. It does not, however, focus on uninstallation, poor ratings or company shares. I found three sources focusing on those, and will write that into the section. :) LocalNet (talk) 06:25, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Strongly advise revision of lede and article
The lede currently presents new material, not contained in the article itself. The entire statistic-laden closing paragraph of the lede is a time-sensitive, already dated selection of data from one survey at one point in the product history. It belongs in the main body, with only its general take-home message being lede-worthy. And then, such a summary of the statistics, which is proper material for the lede, must clearly state that its interpretations are "As of (date)…". Good encyclopedic writing never introduces detailed, novel, soon to be passé information in its summary. Le Prof 73.210.155.96 (talk) 15:24, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Well, you are right. I wasn't here when it was originally written, but I have been thinking about how to remove it from the lead and put it in the article. The lead should actually have a much greater focus on features and functionality, in my opinion. Do you have any suggestions on article placement for the study? LocalNet (talk) 15:32, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for quick reply. No opinion as to where, may require new section or new subsection. Please see in-text note hidden in lead, for full statement of issues here. Otherwise, no opinion on content of lead, except, per policies/guidelines, it must be a standalone summary of (whole of the) article. Cheers, Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 15:47, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Perhaps §Business and multimedia, §§Demographics, with the whole of this subsection being then summarised in 1-2 sentences in the lede. It is all the more appalling when there is published academic research on demographics, that the Variety-funded survey, reported then in Variety, is the only research summarised in the lede! If you have the time, go to the Variety article, and state the period over which the survey was performed (if published in 2016, it may have been performed over 3 mos. in 2015), and note how the study was designed—see in-text note in lede; how survey participants were chosen, how many there were, what percent queried actually responded, etc. If not discussed/disclosed, this too is statement-worthy. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 15:52, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- There does indeed appear to be a conflict of interest, which I believe is easily reason enough to take it out of the lead. A quick Google search doesn't show any non-Variety sources talking about its study, either. There is also, in my opinion, way too much of a focus on Snapchat's history in the lead (why is information that Evan Spiegel was living at home important)? The lead needs refinements, but unfortunately, fixes won't come in 5 minutes. That said, having taken a quick look at the article itself, it seems overall pretty much okay. That means I can spend most of my focus on the lead. Trimming History, adding info on Features, and shortening info on user demographics, based on actual research, can fix the lead. LocalNet (talk) 16:07, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

I went ahead and made a paragraph focusing on development of features, and removed the Variety study altogether. I realize it can be considered a bold edit, but for those who are reading this: I am not done with the article. I will add more info on growth and user demographics, but I need a break right now. :) LocalNet (talk) 17:57, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I have now added a summary of Demographics and Growth in the lead. It needs further refinements, but I loathed the top banner and just had to do something about it. This is a major improvement from a banner and missing information, and I will keep making improvements to the article and lead over the coming days/weeks. LocalNet (talk) 19:19, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
No reference to studies that show sexting is minority content
and what kind of statistical reference is "minority"? Benvhoff (talk) 07:53, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Benvhoff: The "Demographics" section of the article states that "In the study, only 1.6% of respondents reported using Snapchat primarily for sexting, although 14.2% admitted to having sent sexual content via Snapchat at some point". That's a minority-share of its usage forms :) LocalNet (talk) 08:25, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
"Minority" can indicate anything from 49% - 1%. I don't think that is the best way to quote statistics. Benvhoff (talk) 02:07, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Celebrity Emoji?
Is it worth talking about how celebrities have a unique emoji next to their name? (Similar to twitter check mark)
I added some notes about this to the article but my edits were reverted.
Is there a better approach to explaining this in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hayksaakian (talk • contribs) 07:21, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Hayksaakian: Thank you for coming to the talk page. Let me try to explain. First of all, thank you for contributing! You had sources, you had proper language, you did great! :) However, the sentence preceding the one you added, which currently states "An "Official Stories" designation was added in November 2015 to denote the public stories of notable figures and celebrities, similar to Twitter's "Verified account" program." describes the same information as you added in your edit. The "unique emoji for celebrities" is exactly what the Official Stories does, so I believe it's the same thing. Does that make sense? :) LocalNet (talk) 07:35, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
I guess it makes sense because they serve the same purpose. I was mainly trying to explain what the emoji meant, and why it would be there Hayksaakian (talk) 05:18, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Snapchat Redesign Controversy
With the recent Snapchat design changes which have received massive backlash from users, even from app pioneer Kylie Jenner (Source: Kylie Jenner's Tweet), I believe that a subsection for this major topic should be added to the controversy area.

Evaluation Question
How did the name snapchat come about? Where did it originate?
All the information in the article was relevant, history, statistics of growth, and core functionality is all stated. Overall the article is not biased, it is very neutral. Facts regarding the app, its different features, and stories about the features can be read in the article. I checked two links and both took me straight to the original source.
