    Snapchat for the web is now available

    No longer exclusive to paid subscribers

    Snap Inc announced a new Snapchat for the web app mid-this year, marking the first time the platform was offered beyond mobile. Now, Snapchat says the web version — which was previously only available to paid subscribers — is open to all users.

    The expanded availability was announced today in a round-up of new features for fall. On Snapchat for the web, users can chat and video call with friends, with conversations syncing between devices. Unfortunately, users are not able to view stories of friends of the channels and people they subscribe to. The web app is only compatible to the latest Chrome and Edge browsers.

    The web version gives users more surface space to chat and video call with friends in the same window. One hundred million users call others using Snapchat every month, the company said in July, and they’ll typically chat with other users right before they close the app.

    Snapchat for the web was initially rolled out as a major offering for Snapchat Plus subscribers, who pay a few dollars a month for early and exclusive access to features. The paid tier is a new way Snap is looking to make money, and early signs point to it already being a success — more than a million users had signed up in the first six weeks.
