The popular short video app Snapchat launches a web version. Is about a new way for the community to stay connected through the camera when they are on their computers.
Initially, it will be available for subscribers of Snapchat+ in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. After the initial launch, the company plans to roll it out in France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, before making it accessible to all users around the world.
The messaging features that web users will be able to access are currently limited to chat reactions and responses. In addition, regular videos and calls. However, it will soon integrate its Lenses feature, the name it gives to its augmented reality filters, to video calls.

To access, users should go to web.snapchat.com and log in with your platform username and password. From there, you’ll be prompted to complete 2-Step Verification on your phone by default. Once the conversation has been started from the web, it can be continued from the mobile. Similar to the app experience on mobile devices, messages sent through Snapchat for web will be automatically deleted after 24 hours.
At the moment, the platform is focused on bringing the core features of the app to the web and building the experience from there. They are planning thebring the other features of the app, including displaying Stories and Memories, to your desktop experience in the future.
Currently, Snapchat has 332 million daily users in its mobile version. Of these, more than 100 million use its voice and video calling services each month. With this launch, they seek to compete with TikTok and Instagram, which can also be accessed through the web.
