#Download snapchat for mac free update#
Thanks to the latest update to SnapChat you can now chat smarter. An icon at the bottom of the home screen shows you how many of yours buddies are currently on SnapChat and you can simply press and hold the capture button to start face-to-face video chatting. Swipe on a friends' name and you'll pull out a chat window where you can tap out messages, which will then disappear when you exit the window. Regardless, Snapchat is still a good app for sending quick photo messages to friends as a hybrid between a messaging app and a social network. What used to be considered a 'sexting' app is now evolving into a social network with its newest feature Snapchat Stories. You should probably avoid sending anything personal as there are now many apps which allow you to save Snapchat photos. There is also the danger of inappropriate images being shared (Snapchat has gotten the reputation of being the perfect 'sexting' app). Snapchat keep images secure by deleting them (within the app) immediately, but there is no way of knowing if the images are archived somewhere else.
It's not obvious at first, but because there are so few options, it's easy to get the hang of quickly. You can access the settings through the notifications section. You can navigate to your notification feed and your contact list by swiping your finger left or right respectively. The Snapchat home screen is the camera itself. When you start Snapchat, you use your phone number as an ID and can add friends through your phone contacts or using your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Skimming through these is a simple matter of swiping left, with an upward gesture opening images to learn more. A quick swipe delivers you to this feed, which allows you to explore snaps from a range of editorial angles. If you are feeling a little more adventurous, you can also dive into Snapchat's "Discover" option. Snapchat includes the option to share videos, as well as Snapchat Stories, which lets your friends view photos an unlimited number of times for up to 24 hours. The timer starts as soon as you click the message, and counts down on the screen even if you're not holding down to view the photo. When you receive a snap, you press and hold the message to view the photo.
