Snapchat is a photo-sharing app for smartphones. It allows users to capture photos and record videos, share those photos or videos with a selected list of recipients, and get instant replies from them.
Before sending your snaps to your contact list, add a caption or drawings to photos or videos. There is a My Story tab where you can add your snaps, which will be shared with all your friends. You can also set a limit from 1 to 10 seconds for a photo to be displayed on the receiver’s screen, and then it will disappear. You can record a video of 10 seconds at most. Snapchat’s main feature, which made this app so famous, is that it notifies you if someone takes a screenshot of your story. The best thing about this app is that there are no ads.
Due to these fantastic features, Snapchat attracted more than 800 million users. Still, this app is not available for PCs. This guide will help you to download Snapchat for your PC.
There are two ways to download Snapchat for PC. You can follow any one of them.
- Run Snapchat inside your Chrome browser.
- Run Snapchat via BlueStacks.
We can now run all Android apps on our PCs thanks to Android emulators. Snapchat via BlueStacks allows you to share your moments with your friends. Follow the given steps to download and install the app.
Requirements
If your PC has Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11, or Mac installed, you can follow the rest of the steps. BlueStacks does not work with any of the other OSs.
Download BlueStacks App Player
Many Android emulators allow you to run Android applications on Windows and Mac PCs. I recommend BlueStacks because it is one of the best Android emulators. If you do not have BlueStacks installed on your PC, download it using the link below.
Once BlueStacks is installed, you can proceed to further steps.
