Who founded Snapchat?

Snapchat was founded by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown while they were students at Stanford University in California. Spiegel and Murphy developed the initial concept for the app, which was originally called Picaboo, while Brown contributed to the development of the app's features and user interface.

Picaboo was first released in July 2011, and after receiving positive feedback from users, the team decided to rebrand the app as Snapchat and release a new version with additional features. The app quickly gained popularity, particularly among younger users, and has since become one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.

Spiegel serves as the CEO of Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat, while Murphy serves as the CTO. Brown left the company in 2013 and later settled a legal dispute with Spiegel and Murphy over the ownership of the app's intellectual property.
