But what was very interesting was after that sort of summer, as we continued to work on it, we really loved using Snapchat to just send photos back and forth to our friends.
We invented a new mechanism to detect when somebody took a screenshot.
So we couldn't prevent it, but we would at least let you know if somebody saved your photo.
And Snapchat became a way that people started talking to each other.
which meant that then we pivoted, we called it Snapchat, we pivoted to talking about it as visual messaging, we added captions and drawing and all the sorts of things that you now use today.

I mean, it's probably like very anticlimactic, right?
Launching an app is like clicking a button.
The launches that I remember are sort of a bit later into the life of the app where everyone would sort of cluster around a computer and watch the dashboard.
Because to me, the fun of a launch is the community feedback.
I mean, that's the best part.
