Snapchats are designed to disappear after just 24 hours – but these hilarious messages have proved so popular they’ve been immortalised forever.
An online gallery from the photo-sharing app has emerged, showing would-be rebels deliberately flouting the rules – and some of their petty acts of defiance are so witty you’ll wish you’d thought of them yourself.
