It is mildly upsetting that it says "These tweaks can compromise the security of your account" when the reason for the bans is clearly so that it is more difficult for you to save images you receive.

- jayd16 6y agoPresumably its for bot detection.
- asdff 6y agoIt's for the tweaks. For a while there was an update to update arms race between Phantom and snapchat. Snapchat would detect phantom, then the next phantom update would evade the detection, then back and forth back and forth. Phantom basically added more power to the app, along with the ability to save videos and phtos, plus some other quality of life features that took snapchat years to implement natively (groups, more design tools, access to camera roll, etc). Honestly, probably 90% of snapchats features over the past 5 years came from copying features from that tweak. I can't imagine why snapchat is so militant, probably just some ego or personality on their dev team that doesn't want a subset of power users to emerge. It reminds me of twitter going to war with alternative clients. I tend to hold on to my phone for pretty long, and snapchat is always the first app that forces me to update my phone to the latest OS or even buy a new one entirely if I've reached the final OS for that phone.
