Not having to manage and deal with all the images people send you all the time is not a novelty. Smartphones all assume that every picture you have on your phone is a prize that you want to save forever. Snapchat gives people a way to send pictures that just avoid all that.

See that's what I'm saying. Someone texts you a photo, it doesn't go into your photo list. It stays in your text convo. I'm all for data management and removing clutter, but I can think of 500 items to clear out before I consider private photo messages from my closest friends.

  I don't know what kind of smartphone you are using but every photo someone texts me ends up in my Android gallery.

    iOS doesn't save images people send you automatically. It will save pictures you send to others on your Camera Roll though.

      WhatsApp on iOS does that. Every Picture I receive is automatically saved.

        You can simply turn this off in the settings ("Save Incoming Media": OFF).

    I didn't know Android did that. If you're texting tons of photos I can see it getting out of control
