Use Snapchat on PC - how it works

If you also want to use the Snapchat app on a PC, this is unfortunately not easily possible. We show you how it works and what you need for it.

Use Snapchat with bluestacks on the PC

Unfortunately, there is no native desktop client from Snapchat - so you have to take a small detour if you do not want to do without Snapchat on the PC.

• The detour is via an emulator called bluestacks. With its help, you can download and use most Android apps on the PC - sometimes with restrictions.
• One of the disadvantages of bluestacks, however, is that the tool downloads a multitude of apps when it is installed, the majority of which are game apps. Unfortunately, you also have to reckon with the unpopular blue screen.
• But Bluestacks is free of charge because the program is still in the development phase and the user interface is designed quite appealing.
• After installing Bluestacks on your computer, set up your Google account and download Snapchat from the Play Store.

Use Snapchat on PC

After Snapchat is downloaded, just enter your account details. You can then start using Snapchat.

• In principle, you proceed no differently than on your smartphone. You look for the appropriate name from your contact list and write a message.
• However, you cannot take photos directly via webcam.
• If necessary, take the pictures beforehand and save them. Then import the images by calling "Take action" and then selecting "Get from Windows".
