The web version of Snapchat also allows users to benefit from itMobile phoneThe messaging features on the phone, including the very popular chat emoji feature, aren’t lacking either. Snap said it plans to use its Lenses feature for video calls in the future.
To access the web version of Snapchat, users need to go to web.snapchat.com and log in with their Snapchat username and password. There you will be asked to complete the standard two-step verification on your phone. You can also continue your conversations on your phone while logged into Snapchat on the web. If you’re using Snapchat from desktop, the user’s Bitmoji will display a laptop icon to let others know you’re accessing chat from Snapchat for web.
Additionally, the web version of the experience includes a privacy feature that hides the Snapchat window when you tap away to do another job.
Similar to the app on your phone, messages sent through Snapchat for web are automatically deleted after 24 hours. The company also said the web version of Snapchat will prevent people from taking screenshots. However, Snap knew that people could still take pictures of the screen with their phones, so pointed out in advance that the product wasn’t perfect.
A Snap spokesperson said the average Snapchat caller spends more than 30 minutes a day on the phone. Though Snap still sees itself as a mobile-first platform, it said that after listening to user feedback, it decided it was time to bring Snapchat’s core functionality to computers.
