hello team snapchat, thank you for all your good work and making snapchat the best out there, there is a little suggestion i would like to make, my suggestion is you should add lock feature when recording voice notes because sometimes it gets very frustrating, you can be in the middle of making a voice note and then when your phone screen lights times out the voice note’s automatically stops recording, if you had been recording for almost a minute or two and it got cancelled it means you have to remake the voice note again, it happens to me 2 or 3 times before i can get a voice note across. please fix that, and also if you could add a feature where you can edit already sent messages it would make the app even more easier and user friendly.

As a software engineer myself, this feature sounds unethical and dangerous. One has right to one’s data as that data can or may be required as evidence legally in a court of law (in another jurisdiction outside of the USA). If one’s account needs to be accessed and one intentionally violates terms and conditions, this can initiate a lock on the account and hence providing data to be inaccessible to prove innocence or guilt in a gourd proceedings - not withstanding, even when account is locked for any reason of any kind, access to data should be provided and even if access is denied, state why the data cannot be accessed. I understand to get to this stage in an app, they could have received different scenarios but then, who decides what is accessible and what isn’t ? If one has a memory of someone they lost (not alive), Snapchat can take that data away and keep it. They can use it elsewhere in AI and you won’t be able to find out or even contest because your account is locked. Im more curious of how Snapchat determines why users who get locked cannot even access their own data I.e, if the account is locked, their data is seized by Snapchat instead of being removed or deleted from their server. What happens to that data ???? Undetermined and very flexible to be used elsewhere ??? Interesting The problem here is if users account is locked and access is data is prohibited, why not delete or remove the users data and state it has been removed ? Why keep it, for what reason, if that data is hacked in anyway which is always possible, who would be held liable ? Will Snapchat take responsibility, how will the user know since they no longer have access to their account. This is a very interesting topic personally.

The app is slow and sluggish and does not respond sometimes. It sometimes closes when it becomes unresponsive. Why should an app occupy over one gigabyte on a phone if ten of such apps are installed on a phone isn’t it 10gb? Just for a messaging app? Is the company storing their data on our phones or what? It’s very abusive of the company and it has to be checked. What at all is being stored so opaquely that the app has to occupy so much space? The regulatory companies have to check some of these abuses by software companies. It is abusive to store ur data on on our phones which is also making the apps sluggish and reducing the effectiveness and speed of the apps. Greed is always a bad thing even for memory. Thanks and pls do something about it. I personally hate slow sluggish apps that close anytime it feels like wasting precious time and life of the user. Is it a crime to use a messaging app? I’m already having friends here if anyone is asking why I haven’t moved to more responsive and smaller apps.
