How to use Snapchat on your PC or laptop: Here’s a step-by-step guide

Snapchat is a popular app for sending messages with pictures and videos that are self-disappearing. Users can also post stories that last for a day and show their friends what they are doing.

Snapchat was a mobile-only app for sending messages, photos, and videos since its inception. The company did not offer a desktop app for users to chat with their friends from their computers. But that changed with the introduction of Snapchat+. 

Snapchat+ is a paid subscription service that launched last year and offers Snapchat for Web as one of its main features. Users can access Snapchat from their browsers on their laptops easily.

The Snapchat web app allows users to resume their chats from where they left off on their phones on desktops and laptops. Users can see the list of chats and messages as soon as they log in. They can click on any chat to see the conversation on the right side and even allows users to make voice or video calls to their friends from their laptops.
