Facebook had attempted and failed to acquire Snapchat following which it launched Slingshot app which it had to retire owing to less traction. The highlight of the app is that it is lightweight at just 25MB. It is designed to be data efficient and downloads images automatically on Wi-Fi connections only. Flash app also has an offline mode. Similar to Snapchat, the messages are temporary and will disappear after sometime.
