That's what I thought, too. I thought the core feature was 'self destructing messages/photos'.

I also presumed that a dedicated power user could preserve said photos forever, so I immediately wrote the whole thing off.

Same here. One of the girls also describes how to screenshot the app without the other user being notified. It's doubtful that most teens sexting using the app are unaware of this.

There are 3rd party apps for that functionality.
