I'm 15 years old and live in Europe. Almost all of my friends (and the stranger next to me on the train) use Snapchat. Personally I find it very annoying as my experience mainly consist of getting spammed with meaningless, completely irrelevant and utterly boring selfies by anyone I happen to add. And then, just to make things worse people find it inpolite not to answer with another selfie. And then it's the chats that kinda work but the UI looks clutterd and half baked. Also messages disappear after a while which is utterly annoying.
At least it would be kinda easy to find people on Snapchat (there's no reason to ask around for someone's number) if it wasn't for the fact that people use the most random pseudonyms imaginable so it's a pain just to know who is who, and almost impossible to pin down new people.
Also I don't give it location sharing permission, that shit is creepy as fuck, I don't want everyone that I kind of vaguely know to know where I am all the time
