The act of capturing a visual record of ephemeral content displayed on a social media platform is a common practice. Specifically, recording a temporary visual narrative shared via a mobile application allows the user to preserve the content beyond its intended lifespan.
This ability to save fleeting media offers users a means of archiving personally relevant material, sharing content with individuals who might have missed the original posting, or retaining evidence of communications. It has implications for both the original poster and the individual performing the capture, raising questions about privacy and expected visibility.
