One of the recent trending hashtags on Twitter in United Arab Emirates was this: #IfThereWasNoSnapchat or #لو_مافي_سناب_شات?
There is no wonder that this topic became popular in a country with more than 33,600 Tweets, since many Emiratis and expats are addicted to this app, documenting their daily routine, travels, food adventures, latest purchases and opinions on it.
Here’s what the people of the UAE had to say when imagining a life without Snapchat:
1. This user is clearly not a fan of the app
“We would have enjoyed our lives away from the curious people and their prying eyes”
2. “People who like to pose and show off would be at a loss”
3. This user was very honest about how she shows off on Snapchat
“I wouldn’t have had to bring out the fancy chinaware only to take snaps and then return to drinking from plastic cups”
4. This user had a very strong statement to share
“We wouldn’t have seen half of the Saudi girls”
5. And we have a sarcastic comment here
“We wouldn’t have seen your breakfast, lunch and dinner”
6. And another one directed at people who snap their food
“We would have eaten our food while it’s still hot”
7. This person had a very valid point about the dog filter
“We wouldn’t have seen many people imitating the look of dogs”
