My jailbroken iPhone saves every snapchat that I get without notifying the other party. It also makes all snaps viewable for unlimited time and I can even send snaps of pictures in my camera roll to make it seem as if I took the picture in the moment.

Look up "Phantom". It's a jailbreak tweak for iOS available in Cydia.

Trust matters.

An interesting statement, given that the problem that Snapchat addresses is that its users don't trust each other.

Otherwise they could send their embarrassing pictures by plain old e-mail with a request 'please do not forward'.

Instead they place proxy-trust in Snapchat to enforce that restriction; if that trust falters, so does Snapchat.

"But it's probably not worth the effort, they wouldn't do it"
