Confined to the smartphone since its launch, Snapchat will soon arrive on the Web. The social network, particularly popular with young people, will soon launch a web version that will allow its users to continue, on their PC, the discussions started on their smartphones.
Reserved for Snapchat Plus subscription at this time
Reserved for the moment for Snapchat Plus subscribers, a paying service at €4.59 per month, the service simply called “Snapchat Web” will first be open to Anglo-Saxon customers before being offered to French women and men. French. The tool will be available for non-subscribers at a later stage.
“With over 100 million Snapchatters using our voice and video calls every month, we’re excited to offer our community a new way to continue conversations on their computers, where they already work, learn and browse.“, welcomes Snapchat in a press release.
In terms of functionality, the web platform will be reserved for private exchanges, in writing or by video. No access to stories, the Discover feed, or the map to watch location-based Snaps at this time. The company also specifies that the service will only be compatible with Google’s Chrome browser.
Compete with the rest of video software
Snapchat’s strategy with this new service is pretty clear. The company hopes to compete with Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Signal or Telegram, which all offer access from the PC. By attracting teleworkers who already spend their day in front of their PC, Snap hopes to boost growth on its platform. Platform addicts would already spend 30 minutes video chatting from their phones, so why not offer the same service on a PC, where people are already used to juggling between Google Meet, Skype, Microsoft Teams and all the other services? of video that imposed themselves during confinement.
Anyway, with Snapchat Web, the company has a service that gives some substance to its subscription, which until then did not offer anything very tempting.
