The 7 Types of People on Snapchat

1.       The Snapchat Every-Little-Detail-in-the-Day-to-Night Snapper

You know the type. There could be anywhere between 152-307 snaps per day. Anything from a photo of a sunrise, brekkie shots, a sweaty gym selfie or perhaps a picture of their feet. All we know is that with these kinds of people, nothing is considered ‘unphotgenic'...Even when perhaps it should be.

2.       The Grandma Snapper

This snapper is the type of person who shoves their Snapchat lens into their poor, little, innocent, technology-deficit grandma’s face. Interaction on the lens will most likely include shaky zoomed-in vids of gma playing candy crush on her heavily armoured/protected iPad.

3.       The Vain Snapper

Prepare to see a number of captions containing such phrases like “When your brows are on fleek” alongside a pouted face. Or maybe a selfie post-workout with muscles flexed to the limit. Carly Simon's hit song should really be the soundtrack of this particular person's snapchat story

4.       The Instagram Fiend Turned Snapchat fiend

Ahhhhh. This type of person is coming into the spotlight more and more. This person has essentially merged all the content they formerly posted on Insta, to Snapchat. Prepare to see many photos of staged meals, calligraphic quotes and OOTDs. 

5.       The Friday Night Drank Snapper (For the sake of the snap)

This person is the type who believes that in order for a wild Friday night to have happened, photographic evidence must be pertained. Even if that evidence is only visible for the next 24 hours after. Prepare to see obnoxious face-forward videos of drunk-messiness (most likely a little put-on/over-acted) and selfies with the bouncers out front. 

6.       The Netflix Snapper 

Okay. So this person has Netflix, pays their $11.99 a month for Netflix, watches Netflix and wants everyone to know that’s exactly the case. How is this message communicated? Via Snapchat of course! Anticipate photos of the American Horror Story opening credits alongside captions like ‘Netflix binge’, with/without a cup of english breakfast tea balanced next to the laptop. (All of us wishing it would spill and therefore teach these overt Netflix snappers a lesson)

7.  The Cats and Dogs Snapper

The cats and dawgs snapper is most likely a friend who was into horseriding when they were like, thirteen. Now they have two cats named Remy and Pushkins and a golden retriever named Gabby who you know absolutely everything about. From where they like to sleep at night, to what sounds they make. Essentially you're aware of these cats and dogs overall behavioural patterns in the 100 odd 15 second videos you've bared witness to over the last week/month/year.
