Snap, Inc., the company behind the social augmented reality (AR) app Snapchat, has recently announced that it is introducing ‘Snapchat for Web’, offering a new way for users to stay connected through the Snap Camera whilst they are at their computers. Snap added that Snapchat for Web is currently only available to subscribers of the company’s recently announced Snapchat+ service.
According to the company, every day, 332 million people open Snapchat on their phones, and more than 100 million Snapchatters use Snap’s voice and video calling solutions each month on average. With Snapchat for Web, users will now be able to utilize the Snap Camera to start conversations with their friends and keep conversations going on their computers, where they’re already working, learning, and browsing.
Snapchat for Web includes top messaging features like Chat Reactions and Chat Reply, along with Lenses which will roll out soon. To access the newly launched platform, users need to head to web.snapchat.com using Google’s Chrome browser to start a call or pick up where chats left off on mobile.
Snap stated that Snapchat+ subscribers in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, and Snapchatters across Australia, and New Zealand can access Snapchat for Web now. The company also hinted that it is planning on bringing the platform to a global audience soon.
