Snapchat: 'Don’t Send Messages That You Wouldn’t Want Someone to Save'

Snapchat has updated its privacy policy to warn users about snaps that don't exactly disappear.

Along with its introduction of Snapcash, Snapchat has updated its privacy policy. The new version introduces a whole section on message deletion, warning users to be careful with their snaps:

You should understand that users who see your messages can always save them, either by taking a screenshot or by using some other image-capture technology (whether that be software or even something as old-fashioned as a camera to take a photo of your device’s screen). If we’re able to detect that a recipient took a screenshot of a message you sent, we’ll try to notify you.
