I use Snapchat and my friends use it. It feels much more personal than Instagram or Facebook, which are social media platforms that extend beyond my close friends and include acquaintances. People can't comment on your story - they have to message you if they want to say something, and group chats in particular keep me using Snap.

I will say that their Android app is more or less garbage and should be an embarrassment to the company. It doesn't function right, it's slow and clunky, and it's infuriating to use and I've moved to IG more and more as its gotten worse. I know Snap is addressing that issue by rebuilding the app, but they have only started caring recently.
