"Deleting" Snapchats

I read an article about how Snapchat claims that after a snapchat is closed, it is gone, wrong. Apparently, when a snapchat is “deleted” it is actually still there. “It looks like its gone,” Nico Sell told the FTC . "If you don't understand the underlying technology of the Internet, and aren't thinking about what is going on behind the scenes, it looks like it disappeared." But most Instagram snaps or Facebooks post, just like Snapchat, are still lurking out there on the internet. In addition, the FTC said Snapchat’s app stored video snaps that were not converted on the person’s device. The videos remained accessible to the recipient the agency said. A user could access a video message, even after it supposedly disappeared.




I found this article interesting because my friends and I use this app to send pictures to each other, and I always thought that it was gone and disappeared after they opened it.
