In October a report from the University of Michigan said the social media platform, which allows users to send short videos to each other, trumps Facebook when it comes to happiness levels.

The study argues that Snapchat is a more "rewarding" form of communication that carries less "risk" than Facebook (disclaimer: unless you're actually using the app to send nude photos).

"On the surface, many people view Snapchat as the 'sexting app,'" Joseph Bayer, the study's lead author and a researcher at the University of Michigan, said in a statement.

"But instead, we found that Snapchat is typically being used to communicate spontaneously with close friends in a new and often more enjoyable way."

To reach the conclusion, researchers asked 154 participating students how they felt about using social media throughout the day, with questions like "How pleasant or unpleasant was your most recent interaction?" and "How close are you to that person?"

Overall, Interactions on Snapchat were "associated with more positive emotions than Facebook and other social technologies," according to the study.

They also found that Snapchat users were less about "self-presentation" and more about actually interacting with friends - essentially how Facebook first started out.

So there you have it, if you're not on the Snapchat bandwagon yet, you need to hop aboard right now.
