Snapchat for PC (Windows & Mac)

Snapchat

Snapchat is a popular social media platform for capturing and sharing photos and videos that automatically self-destruct after a limited amount of time once the receiver opens it. You can share photos/videos with any or all your friends on the platform for a limited time or for all time. The app has been regarded as one of the best apps to send and receive photos.

 

Features

Following are some features of this app:

In the Moment

All your unopened snaps are hosted for 24 hours, thus keeping you and your friends in the moment. Once you open/view a snap, the timer starts and after 10 seconds the snap disappears.

 

Memories

You can preserve your snaps with this feature. Simply use the Save to Memories option available at the bottom of your snaps. Your snap will be saved in Memories (a private storage) where you can view, edit, and share it. You can also lock them with a passcode.

Many Modes of Communication

There are a number of ways to communicate on Snapchat. You can use chat, photo, as well as video calling to communicate with your friends. Furthermore, lots of customization options are available for chats including overlaid text, drawings, stickers, etc.

Story

A ‘story’ reel can be created by linking the snaps together and broadcasting it. Your followers will see it as a ‘story’ reel. Your friends can experience your entire day by tapping through your story and watching every snap. Similar to regular snaps, a story reel is also available for a limited amount of time (24 hours), after that, it automatically disappears. Alternatively, you can also store it to Memories.

Filters

A wide range of filters are available, allowing you to enhance your snaps by adding an overlay with a filter of your choice. Simply swipe left or right while previewing the photo after capturing it to add colorful filters, geofilters, speed overlays, local weather, current time, etc. to your photo or video. You can add multiple filters to the same snap as well. Simply press and hold the swipe to add a new filter after applying your first one.

Lenses

Make your snaps even more fun by adding special augmented-reality based sounds and effects via Lenses feature. You will need to activate lenses first in order to use it. To do this, go to the Camera screen in the app and long-press on your face shown in the camera view. Once you do this, lenses will appear next to the capture button. You can browse different lenses by swiping left or right and then tap the capture button to take a snap with the selected lens.

3D World Lenses

While Lenses only apply to your selfie shots in real-time, 3D World Lenses are applied to the entire environment around you. You can browse them the same way as Lenses (shown in the row next to capture button), however they are only available if you face your camera outward. There are a variety of World Lenses to choose from.
