Questions
Is there an app like Snapchat but not Snapchat?
Mugula covers the part most people use with close friends: silly photos with face filters that disappear. It skips the social network: no account, stories, streaks, map or followers.
Can I use it without an account?
Yes. Mugula has no sign-up at all. It sends through the iMessage conversations you already have.
Does Snapchat work inside iMessage?
Snapchat is its own app with its own friends list. Mugula is built as an iMessage app, so it opens inside the conversation itself.
When is Snapchat the better choice?
If you want stories, a huge lens library, streaks, or to talk to people who aren't in your contacts. Mugula is deliberately smaller.
