Snapchat is running over Facebook when its comes to uploading photos.
A Snapchat represenative told that the site is now seeing 400 million snaps per day. That jibes with information given earlier to Business Insider. In contrast, Facebook users upload around 350 million photos per day, BI said, citing a source at Facebook.
The comparison may not exactly be apples to apples. Snapchat's 400 million figure includes both photo and video messages and likely counts all snaps of the same photo sent to different people. But Snapchat might also have an edge over Facebook based on photo uploads alone.
Snapchat didn't unveil a video upload feature until December of 2012, and photo messages that vanish after being viewed is still the site's core function, according to BI. Snapchat also has a much smaller number of users than does Facebook. As more people hop onboard to share snaps of their day, photo upload volume will increase over that found on Facebook.
