The company’s decision to expand to web follows feedback from users, and insights that show the average Snapchat user spends more than 30 minutes a day on calls. The new experience also prevents people from taking screenshots, and includes a privacy screen that hides the Snapchat window if a user clicks away for another task. A Bitmoji will appear in chats while a user is typing, portraying your character with a laptop to indicate to other users that you’re accessing the chat via Snapchat for Web. To access Snapchat for Web, users can log in to using their Snapchat username and password.

Snap says it plans to bring its ability to use Lenses in video calls and view Stories and Memories to Snapchat for Web down the line. Using Snapchat for Web, users can send messages and snaps, make use of messaging features such as chat reactions, as well as chat via video and regular calls. Snapchat for Web will be available to Snapchat+ subscribers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.Īfter the initial launch, the company plans to roll out Snapchat for Web to Snapchat+ subscribers in France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, before making it accessible to all users around the world. Snap announced Monday that it has launched Snapchat for Web, introducing the service to desktop users.
