Snap is the living dead now. No users left after boneheaded redesign, all their ads running are promoting their competitors, employees I know are basically pulling the copper wire out of the walls. Abandon ship! Also, will somebody please make a simple private picture app for grown-ups? I'd love to be able to share stuff with my sig other/parents/grandparents - and that's it. I can't recommend SnapChat in the state i…

Google Photos?

Yes, this is what you want, unless you hate Google. I stopped using Facebook for photos because I didn't feel safe navigating their privacy settings. Now I know the only people scanning my kids' photos are thousands of only potentially malicious algorithms.

I was a huge user of snapchat, even though my phone (Nexus 5x) was so painfully slow on it that I hated using the app. I got a lot out of it (keep up with actual friends lives, I don't use instagram). After the redesign, it was bad enough to tip me over the edge. I haven't opened it in months, and I miss the friends I kept in touch with it.

It sure sounds like it's dead. > Snap is currently finalizing its Q4 2018 results and says it expects to report revenue and adjusted EBITDA results “that are slightly favorable to the top end of our previously reported quarterly guidance ranges for each.”

The guidance was a loss between $100 and $75 million for the quarter, so even if they slightly beat that, it’s not doing much to stop the bleeding.

My wife, who is obsessed with clickbait and loves buying nonsense-products from ads, recently quit Snapchat to use Instagram exclusively. That was my signal to double-down on SNAP puts. Straight to the bank!

My family uses FamilyAlbum and everyone loves it (cross platform as well).

It's great. Automatically adds all the pictures of my son to a shared album.
