• Red Unfilled Square: Your Snap (without audio) has been seen by the person you sent it to.

Snapchat

Snapchat is an app made by Snap Inc. where people can send pictures and messages that disappear after a short time. At first, it was just for sharing photos between friends, but now it has more features. People can post "Stories" that last for 24 hours, and companies can share short videos with ads in the "Discover" section.

Snapchat also has a private, password-protected area called "My Eyes Only" for storing photos. It uses some end-to-end encryption for security, and they plan to add more in the future.
