New Delhi: Snapchat on Monday announced that it is bringing features like chat and video calling to the desktop through a new web app for the first time. Snapchat for web is a new way for “our community to stay connected through our camera when they’re on their computers,” the company said in a statement. To begin with, the web platform will be available exclusively to Snapchat Plus subscribers in the US, UK and Canada, as well as Snapchatters in Australia and New Zealand.
