Snapchat seeks growth, adds disappearing text messages, video chat

Snapchat, the mobile app that rose to fame for its ability to let users send each other photos and videos that disappear after they’re viewed, has added text messages and video chats to its lineup of ephemeral features.

Now, Snapchat can be used to have text conversations with others, but unlike most other messaging apps, messages sent on Snapchat will vanish after they have been viewed by the recipient.
