Originally Snapchat was called Picaboo, and it was first launched in July 2011 in Spiegel’s father’s living room on the Apple App Store. Picaboo was renamed Snapchat when the app was rebranded and added to the Google Play in 2012 for Android users. Inspiration for the disappearing messages came to Spiegel and Murphy after a friend regretted sending a photo to someone else. That friend is supposedly Frank Reginald Brown. Brown approached his friends Spiegel and Murphy with a “million dollar idea”. The three launched Picaboo, but Brown claims that Spiegel and Murphy ousted him. Since then, Brown has sued his two former friends, who in turn, have filed a restraining order. It’s been reported that Snapchat’s more than 100 million users share over 400 million snaps daily.
