How to get a Snapchat app for desktop (Mac or PC)

Snapchat is one of the most popular apps on the mobile app stores, with over 332 million people using the app. In July Snapchat launched a new way to stay connected, by using Snapchat on the web. Snapchat for the web was initially offered to Snapchat Plus subscribers, but is now open to all users.

Now, you can add Snapchat to Wavebox and use it right alongside all your other social media apps.

Why install Snapchat on your desktop

Using Snapchat on your mobile device is more convenient than using it on your desktop. You can connect with millions of other Snapchatters and send messages and snaps from wherever you are. However, there are a number of advantages for businesses that use Snapchat on a desktop device vs a mobile device. Perhaps the most significant advantage is that businesses can manage multiple Snapchat accounts and take advantage of the larger screen size to create more engaging and visually appealing content.

So, which should you use - Snapchat on your mobile device or desktop? It really depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you want to be able to create content quickly and easily, then using Snapchat on your mobile device is probably the best option for you. If you spend lots of time managing your Snapchat account and need to create more professional content, then using Snapchat on your desktop is a better option.

Overall, using Snapchat on a desktop device can be a great way for businesses to improve their content strategy and reach a wider audience.
