Snapchat
Snapchat is recognized as an American multimedia instant messaging app and service developed by Snap Inc. This app can be downloaded for any device to hang out with your friends and provides features like chat, snap and video call your friends from wherever you are. The content shares can be edited with filters, effects, text captions, and drawings.
Like in most of the apps, reporting options are available in this against harassment, bullying, blackmail or other safety concerns.
