Johannesburg - Nevermind Instagram and Facebook, our celebs are taking a liking to Snapchat - in a big way!
In case you didn't know, Snapchat is a social networking site which allows you to post videos and pictures. The trick is that they are deleted after 24 hours. So, not only does the user determine the amount of time a snap can be viewed for (2 seconds even) the image or video is automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Last week Snapchat revealed that daily video views had increased from 2 billion in May to 6 billion in October, which to put it simply, means that more and more people are watching videos on the site.
To make things even more fun, Snapchat has added cool filters and awesome editing options, like fast-forwarding and slow-motion.
And our local celebs have joined the craze. Here's five of our faves to follow. Why? Because it really is a hilarious look into their lives that you don't get any where else...
