&gt; Instead of focusing on the moment with friends, she was more concerned with posting something on Snapchat for our circle to see.<p>Isn&#x27;t this common with every social media app, relatively? It&#x27;s the same with cameras, writing down notes, and many other things. You need to use it wisely and have a good focus on the right time and place, and amount of time too.<p>I use Snapchat a fair bit friends, but almost always not when we&#x27;re together. It&#x27;s a low-friction and cheap way of just keeping in contact. Like when you&#x27;re walking down a street, see something cool and point it out to a friend. Snapchat lets you do that when you&#x27;re not actually together.<p>When I&#x27;m with friends and want to show something to other friends, I&#x27;ll make a quick photo or video, and then let it be. Again, you&#x27;ll have some friends who are on their phones too much, but that&#x27;s not a Snapchat app problem, or a physical camera problem, it&#x27;s a user problem.
