Why is Snapchat More Private Than Instagram?
Snapchat is indeed more private than Instagram because you can chat very privately. Your chats get deleted once the recipient has seen and you can save chat only by using the save chat option. You can also choose to keep the chat for 24 hours for any particular friend. You can also send your snaps privately and the receiver can not save them. They can only see it two times. So, Snapchat provides you with safer options than Instagram.
Do My Snaps Are Accessible to Snapchat's Employees?
No, Snapchat's employees can not see your snaps or any data according to Snapchat's privacy policy. Only you and the person to whom you are sending your snaps can see them. Once you send someone a streak then they can open it only two times and you will get a notification when they opened it for the second time.
Can I Also Add Advertisements On Snapchats?
Yes, you can advertise anything on Snapchat under its community guidelines just as you can set up Instagram story ads. It will cost you 5$ per day to advertise on the Snapchat app. You can also optimize your spending according to your budget.
