Update Snapchat: Here's how
Update Snapchat regularly to keep up with the latest features. The developers launch a new version with many new filters, effects and features on the market almost every month. We'll show you how to download the new versions of Snapchat on iOS and Android.
iOS: Update Snapchat
Whether iPhone, iPod or iPad - you can only update Snapchat via the Apple App Store:
- To do this, open the App Store on your iOS device.
- In the lower bar, switch to the "Updates" tab.
- If a Snapchat update is available, it will be shown in the list. Then tap on the "Update" button to the right and wait until the new version has been downloaded and installed.
- Tip: To avoid having to constantly update Snapchat yourself, you can activate the automatic updates on iOS.
Android: update Snapchat
On Android, the Snapchat update works similarly to that on iOS. Instead of the app store, use the Google Play Store here:
- First, open the Google Play Store on your Android device.
- At the top left, tap on the three horizontal bars and select "My apps and games" from the menu.
- If a new version of Snapchat is available, it will appear in the "Updates" section. Tap on it and select the "Refresh" button. The new version will then be downloaded and installed.
- Tip: If you activate the automatic app updates on Android, you no longer have to update Snapchat manually.
