Users take on an evolved form of the picture selfie and record short videos that they send to their friends on the app. These short videos can disappear as quickly as they are viewed by the recipient, can play on repeat until the recipient closes them or can play in loop along with other videos taken within a twenty-four-hour period.”

This being said, feel free to go off script and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. In fact, making mistakes humanizes you. People like watching other people and that includes your flaws!
