so my friends use snap (im not the biggest fan but it looks fun enough) and i want to use it too to yk yeah yk like 🤫 but im kinda concerned about privacy type shii 🥀 i was considering putting the official app on a work profile, but i thought that it would be good to get a third party client anyway

EDIT: ouu shii im getting mass downvoted but pretty understandable 🥹

Following for interest. It's the most sketchy social media app I linger on to just to keep in touch with a small handful of folks. It'd be nice to find an alternative client. Last I checked I don't think there are any revanced/morphe patches for it, though I should check that again.

If you want people to take your requests for support seriously then you shouldn’t be using ambiguous wording. Be clear, be concise.

Those indeed can be fun but be aware they're almost assuredly doing facial recognition on their users, and the whole system works by always retrieving the files themselves from a remote server, I'm fairly sure they don't even cache on your phone (I could be wrong there, though). It's really up to you if you think it's all fun enough and worth having fun socializing with your friends with the risk of lack of privacy in that respect. Maybe you can keep it to a minimum of anything important being talked about? Unless you have a major reason to worry about being targeted, most people can probably safely dip in just for a handful of throwaway conversations with friends.

Sorry other folk don't read modern slang.
