Snapchat is an app that helps users to communicate with each other. It has a lot in common with other messaging applications, but there are some differences. The main difference is that you communicate with other people with the help of videos and photos. There are many available filters that will help you to diversify the media file. For example, you can try different masks, glasses, and many other special effects. They can be fun or they can just improve the quality of your media file by making it more beautiful.
