Jones says he hopes his app will help people realize the “dangers in sending images that don’t want people to see.” Jones recently submitted an updated version of his app to Apple for review. Many young adults have been taking advantage of Snapchat’s timed viewing features (which range from 1 to 10 seconds in length, chosen by the sender) to send inappropriate photos back and forth, with the assumption that they’ll vanish forever once viewed. Part of Snapchat’s allure lies in its temporary nature. Because of this, many users may find themselves replacing the original Snapchat app with SnapHack to ensure the ability to save messages each time they come through. Any messages that are first opened in Snapchat will be deleted as usual. All unopened Snapchats will then be downloaded to SnapHack and available for saving to your device’s photo roll. “SnapHack” works like this: After downloading the app from the Apple app store, you login to SnapHack using your Snapchat username and password. Previously, we’ve talked about apps that enable users to save their Snapchats, but this might be the first time we’re seeing an app created with the intent to shed light on the growing issue of mobile security. Jones has expressed hope that his little hack will move Snapchat to put stronger precautions in place to prevent people from saving images. Jones has stated that he “wanted to prove that nothing was 100% secure once uploaded to the Internet”─sounds like a man after my own heart. With Jones’ creation (available for $0.99 in the Apple app store), individuals on the receiving end of Snapchats can now save these photos and videos without the sender’s knowledge. The creator of a new iOS app called “SnapHack” has made it possible for iPhone and iPad users to save Snapchat images.įor those unfamiliar with Snapchat, it is a photo and video messaging app that deletes all sent items immediately after they’re viewed. Jones claims to have created his hack in order to prove that change is needed when it comes to photo messaging apps such as Snapchat. However, this may not be the case with app designer Darren Jones.
