Snapchat for Web is a web version of the messaging platform. Earlier available only on mobile, now its services will be more open to users across devices, including laptops and desktops.

That means Snap users can stay connected with their friends and followers regardless of their platform. The chat history will be synced across devices all the time.

It will come with all messaging features like chatting and video calling, lenses, chat reactions and replies, etc.

Snapchat for Web was initially available only to premium Snapchat+ customers in the US, Canada, and the UK. With the announcement, global users may also use the web version.

Benefits Of Snapchat For Web

Snapchat for Web comes as an opportunity for both users and the platform.

  • Snap already recognized the web version to be an ‘unmet opportunity.’ With the mobile-to-web reverse migration, the company hopes to increase its impact on the market while broadening the scope of growth.
  • The platform also seeks to close its availability gap with other social media platforms. Whatsapp and Instagram, for example, have long been available across all devices.
  • All Snap users can now get a different experience because the surface space for video calls and chats will be significantly bigger. According to Snapchat, over 100 Million users regularly use the video all feature.
