Moments

In 2005, LifeConnect empolyees Daren Wann and George Charles started experimenting with "temporary multimedia blog posts" under a grassroots project soon implemented into the then-latest in-development build. The new feature received positive reception from the users who were part of LifeConnect's beta program back then, and the feature was launched in November 2006.

In 2011, when Snapchat launched, LifeConnect filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement on their patents. Snapchat and LifeConnect settled on sharing the patent instead, shortly afterwards.
