Snap Inc. focuses on enhancing communication and self-expression through technology, primarily in the social media and augmented reality (AR) sectors. Its main product, Snapchat, is a multimedia messaging app that allows users to send photos and videos that disappear after being viewed, along with features like Stories and Discover for sharing content. Snap Inc. also offers Spectacles, smart glasses that capture video and photos from the user's perspective, which integrate with Snapchat. This company targets younger demographics, particularly teenagers and young adults, while also providing advertising opportunities for businesses to reach this audience. Unlike competitors such as Facebook and Instagram, Snap Inc. emphasizes a unique camera experience and self-expression through its products. The company's goal is to empower users to live in the moment and communicate in a fun and engaging way, primarily generating revenue through advertising and product sales.
