Snapchat messaging and video chat features are no longer limited to just the mobile app, as Snapchat is now trying to branch out and bring the app after living more than a decade on the smartphone. The company has just introduced Snapchat for Web. It’s a new browser-based version of their service, and it’s way much better.

Snapchat+ Users will first get access to the new web app, but it will eventually be available to every user, so it will support messaging and video calling for now. Although the company does plan to add support for their AR lenses and the ability to send photo and video snaps soon. The company has also tried to build some of its privacy features into the web version, like locking screenshot attempts as it can detect them like those taken with keyboard shortcuts. The company has also added a new privacy scene that blocks the content of users’ chats if they click away into a separate window.

It’s not the first time the company has experimented with desktop or browser-based versions of their service, as the company previously made some stories post viewable on web browsers and brought their AR effects to the desktop with their snap camera app. But it’s the first time some of their core messaging features will be available to users outside the mobile app which is a great update. This change will help the company increase engagement with its most dedicated users and it will also help snap replicate the experience of apps like Discord, where teens normally use chats as places to hang out while joining other online activities.

Also, there are no ads and other revenue-generating features in Snapchat for the web for now, although a spokesperson did say that the company will bring out more aspects of the mobile app to the browser version of the service if there is demand for it.
