Mostly True
Snapchat was initially named Picaboo and was marketed for sending nudes.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (67/100).
The claim that Snapchat was originally called Picaboo is supported by multiple reliable sources, including Wikipedia and Hatchwise, confirming that Snapchat launched as Picaboo in 2011. However, the claim that Snapchat was marketed for sending nudes is not supported by the evidence. While Snapchat's privacy features may have been used for such purposes, there is no evidence that this was part of its marketing strategy. The sources emphasize Snapchat's focus on privacy and media sharing rather than explicit content.
