HOW SNAPCHAT WORKS

Snapchat is a picture-sharing app that lets you send photos, text, messages and drawings to your friends.

You can choose how long you want the picture to be viewable, up to ten seconds, before the app 'deletes' it.
To use it, open the app and create your message.
Special effects and even text can also be added.
Choose a recipient from a list of friends.
Specify how long you want the picture or video to last, up to 10 seconds, then send.

In theory a user can choose how long they want the picture to be viewable - up to ten seconds - before the app deletes it.
But now SnapHack, a $0.99 (62p) app, lets you look at old images sent through the Snapchat app at anytime.
