All the reposts which I did, got deleted with the sudden update that happened in the app. Now I just can't find this reposts again. Now, only one repost is left.

A suggestion, great app but it sucks when you're listening to a voice note in chat and Every time a message comes in the voice note cancels because you're taken to the latest message

Snapchat is a fine platform however, their notification practice is as disgusting and as predatory as the actual predators they allow on this app. They WILL force you to receive notifications whether you like it or not. Opt out? Too bad, they'll just opt you right back in! Or they'll loophole around your settings and add the exact same notification back, just worded differently! Terrible.
