Snapchat remains one of the world's most influential social media platforms, especially among Gen Z and millennial users. Launched in 2011 by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown, the app revolutionized digital communication by introducing ephemeral messaging—photos and videos that disappear shortly after being viewed.
