Snapchat: 150 million photos shared daily, up 150% in two months

Snapchat seems to have found a way in the past two months. According to its CEO Spiegel in a meeting yesterday, the number of photos shared by Snapchat every day has reached nearly 150 million, which was only 60 million in February this year, an increase of nearly 150% in two months! The absolute value of 150 million is already very large. You should know that the number of photos uploaded to Facebook with 900 million users every day is only about 300 million (data from August last year), and the data of Instagram in January this year was only 40 million per day. Unfortunately, the latter two are unlikely to grow as wildly as Snapchat.

The main growth is coming from the younger generation's adoption of Snapchat, but Spiegel believes that Snapchat also makes sense for the 30-40 year old generation because the content on Snapchat is "more emotional."

Snapchat is an app for photo sharing and private communication. You can share all kinds of private photos with your friends. The information will disappear within 10 seconds after the other party receives the picture. Therefore, you can safely share some embarrassing information on other platforms, whether it is embarrassing or pornographic photos. Anyway, there is no evidence, so you can be yourself, which is exactly what the younger generation wants. Snapchat was founded in September 2011. Last year, it was rated as the fastest growing company by TC. It received $13.5 million in Series A financing. My intuition tells me that it will be a very powerful company.
