(Snapchat introduces a repeat function)

Topic Tags | privacy, Snapchat
Summary | Snapchat, which is notoriously known for the self-destruction of its content, has introduced a repeat function. The new function is said to be available once a day per user and is being tested in the US only for now. If users want to see more repeats, they can pay $0.99 and get to watch unlimited replays. Considering that Snapchat has had safety breaches in the past, this move is quite odd because it turns the main component of Snapchat around.
