After years as a mobile-only app, the Snapchat messaging service is coming to a web version. It will thus be possible to chat with friends from the computer and the browser, without the need for the smartphone.
Snapchat for Web (web.snapchat.com) offers to launch calls or resume conversations already in progress on mobile by text or video, whether in pairs or in groups. The Chat Reactions and Chat Reply features are included, and later Lenses for augmented reality.
This still reduces the range of possibilities compared to the mobile application. Enjoying this greater convenience of use with Snapchat is also not immediately available to everyone. Snapchat for Web is launching first for paid Snapchat+ subscribers in the US, Canada and the UK.
A temporary plus for Snapchat+ subscribers
Snapchat users in Australia and New Zealand are also affected. However, the entire Snapchat community around the world will ultimately have access to Snapchat for Web. Note that only the Chrome browser is supported for the beginnings of the web version.
” Every day, 332 million people open Snapchat on their smartphone and, thanks to our camera, can start conversations with their real friends. Today we’re launching Snapchat for Web, a new way for our community to stay in touch via our webcam while they’re in front of their computer. “, writes Snapchat.
The web version of Snapchat is late compared to Meta’s WhatsApp, Discord or even Telegram for availability on the computer. According to Snap, more than 100 million Snapchat users use voice and video calls every month.
