Right, so me and DP are having a bit of a discussion about a certain social media app that will remain nameless (I’m sure you may be able to guess anyway). I know social media is a trouble maker and I’m not a big fan of it myself anyway and only use it to keep in touch with friends that live overseas.
Anyway, so this app - its main feature is that everything automatically deletes after a certain amount of time, so photos, messages, the lot. I can think of no logical reason why you would need an app that does this - other than one. Please tell me I am not the only person who thinks this? Or am I just being too suspicious?
Why would you want conversations to automatically delete? And why would you want photos and videos to automatically delete?
^genuine answers bar the obvious welcome. I just feel that you would only post pictures on social media that they want to show off anyway, so why would you want it to delete? And if you don’t want all trace of it gone, why share it in the first place? Why not just take the picture and keep it as a memory on your phone or cloud storage?
I think that the app is made to be sneaky and deceitful and that having the app shows that you have something to hide.
So as not to drip feed as I’m sure the questions will come - yes, DP downloaded the app knowing my feelings on it after first downloading it a couple of years ago. I know he’s just got it because a lot of people from work have it and he has FOMO, but he doesn’t understand why I am so uncomfortable with him having it. He has now deleted it but only for a quiet life.
So AIBU?
