If you're messaging someone to be fun or flirty, or just as causal friends, do you really want to see the random dumb things you said 6 months ago or 3 years ago on Facebook Messenger?

Every messaging app is essentially like one long email thread, whereas Snapchat provides real freedom to be spurious and in the moment without future embarrassment.

And anyone can secretly record anyone at any time in any interaction. That doesn't stop people from communicating freely.
