Snapchat is that application many have tried to dodge but whose popularity exposes them to feeling left out, and consequently, leaving them with the itchy feeling of having the app installed on their phone pronto. With the number of the restless social crusaders skyrocketing, Snapchat couldn't have surfaced at a better time. You can actually make your entire day other people's business of the day by simply capturing your every single move of the day - and thus a slogan should be incoporated into Snapchat's privacy policy ," day to day stalking made easier!"
Are people opting for snapchat instead of instagram?
An account am following on Instagram suddenly went under, with updates emerging after intervals of weeks, yet this was one person who frequented my Instagram feeds with her unending grace and unremitting selfies. I later discovered she dumped instagram for Snapchat! because options exist and variety is a spice of life.
Snapchat lets you post endless phenomenons- including your face -to those who follow you, and the entire collection runs consistently as your story, albeit for 24 hours, then it is cleared off their severs. Your rachet videos are safe from download here but your photos are up for screenshots.
Snapchat has been adding even more interesting features to its bouquet in a bid to capture even more scintillating moments. This has led to constant updates with some versions being released at intervals of just a week! If you thought keeping up with the Kardashians was overwhelming, you haven't tried keeping up with snapchat using a low-end phone! The new features are incongruent with some(Android) phones, only leaving the beholder to convince themselves about how useless their gadgets are. You will rarely find an iPhone user complaining about the shortcomings of a recently unveiled Snapchat update.
Being an Android enthusiast am hardly persuading you to switch to Apples iOS, but if you have to use snapchat on an Android device, consider getting a proper reputable phone whose hardware and specifications will be harmonious with the ever growing and demanding app requirements. You most definitely have to spend a fortune on that too. If you are new to snapchat, you might also consider having superfluous data connection (bundles galore) for the simple reason that it consumes data like a V8 guzzles fuel - technically giving instagram a run for its money!
Snapchat is not a smooth experience for every tom dick and harry
Judging from the hurdles my fellow snapchatters have been experiencing, it is evident that android operating system incompatibilities and a low budget phones are the specifics out to spoil all the fun there is to put a snapchat user into a frenzy like every other user.
Some of the imperfections exhibited on Android phones are ; Ridiculous levels of RAM and CPU use, atrocious battery consumption and its ever increasing and ridiculous size. With some devices (HTC for example) there might be incompatibilities of the operating system 5.1 Lollipop with the chipsets and the CPU : Snapdragon 810 and Quadcore 1.5GHz cortex A53 , Quadcore 2.0GHz cortex A5.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow however, works optimally with snapchat on HTC M9.
If you are using a phone with a RAM less than 1 GB the torment continues and most of your running apps will get frozen to free up some RAM just so snapchat can squander it. With the system apps also requiring a good chunk of RAM allocation, snapchat will be up for a force close even before you post your videos!
The introduction of face filters has also been the undoing of some snapchat users since it ushered in force closing of the app on some devices including Samsung S3 S5 and LG G series . Taking videos is also a menace ,and it gets even worse if you are using a low-end phone with a bogus camera! The updates not being accommodated in your phone renders your stories archaic and sometimes you wont even go as far as adding it to your story since your phone will immediately freeze!
Snapchat wants you to get an iPhone or a high-end Android phone if you are passionate about showcasing your life in a live feed. If indeed you are enthusiastic about snapchat and you want to explore the intricacies that updates have to offer, you are being urged to get rid of that deplorable phone you posses or you risk being faced out from the new features all the same!
