    Well I might suggest that's rather naïve and childish.


    The vast majority of people have neither the time or the energy to be doing any of that nonsense

    I don't feel that is naive or childish at all. Snap chap is used a lot by people grooming children and so it is used a lot to send inappropriate pictures due to the nature of the messages disappearing after a few seconds. The messages cannot be viewed like they can within normal messages or messenger.

    I'm not suggesting for one second that everyone who uses snapchat is a groomer or up to no good. It is interesting to hear from other people about what men send to each other though.

    Probably about as interesting as women send to other woman.

    Let me guess... you've found a snapchat app on your OH's phone and think he's been sending some girl pics of his bits? Or chatting with her on it?


    I don't use it (other than the 'puppies/fairies/unicorns' thing as above lol). I've never sent anyone anything (to my knowledge!) and haven't got anyone in a friends list (presuming there is such a thing on it).


    I wouldn't reach the same conclusion as you, but would think he's been looking at himself as a puppy/fairy/unicorn etc...

    My teens use it, and from my anecdcata (nice term!) they swap memes on it.

    That said, they know I check their phones. I'm sure they're using other plausibly deniable channels for the stuff not fit for their mother. (Well, I would. Seems only reasonable to credit them with equal guile.)

    It's not as if, to quote my mechanic, they have a "sl*tphone" specifically for the deniable comms.

    If you think he is having an affair, just ask him. It'll be faster.

    I'm 43 and I use it. I send pics to my work colleagues when I am on holiday of the beach/beer/view to remind them they are at work. My sister sends me pics of dog rough houses she has to go to for work. All good fun.
