Snapchat's Fidelius feature, designed to enhance privacy, has a critical flaw that renders its 'lock' function ineffective for received snaps. Despite testing across multiple Snapchat versions (12.80.1.0 up to 13.10.0.40) and SnapEnhance versions (2.0.0 up to 2.1.0), on various accounts and friend combinations, a persistent issue arises: the lock icon only appears on sent snaps, not received ones. This leads to a limited and confusing privacy experience. Users believe they are protected when sending snaps with 'lock' enabled, but the feature doesn't extend to incoming snaps, undermining its intended purpose.
