New York Times: Snapchat just released a major update that’s been getting a lot of attention. But one less publicized aspect of this update is that Snapchat is a whole lot less ephemeral than it used to be.
Snapchat introduced text messaging and chatting, as well as a FaceTime-like video conferencing feature. But people who like Snapchat’s disappearing messages should know that anyone can simply tap on a text message to save it in a thread forever.
