So basically, Snapchat doesn’t really send snaps directly from one phone to another. 😅 What happens is your snap first goes up to Snapchat’s servers. From there, it gets sent to the other person’s device. This setup helps them manage things like disappearing messages, notifications, and keeping everything secure. iOS and Android just have some built-in tricks to make it faster, but the server is the middleman every time.

If you’re curious about how Snapchat tracks activity and message delivery between devices, you can check out tools like OnlyTraced that show how Snapchat data and account interactions are monitored. It’s kinda cool to see what info is being sent back and forth behind the scenes.

Hope that clears it up! 👍
