With over 229 million daily active users, Snapchat is a popular multimedia messaging app. And why not, there are many reasons to love; it’s simple, funny, fast, and effectively shares moments. But all this fun takes place on your iPhone, right? What about Mac? Here is how you can use Snapchat on your Mac.
Imagine checking your friends’ Snapchat stories while you are working without raising your phone. Or chat with them or share a Snap from the comfort of your Mac itself. But how! The application is currently only available for mobile devices. While a Snapchat app for Mac is rumored to be in the making, we have a solution for you right now.
How to Download and Use Snapchat App on Mac in 2020
The process is pretty simple. However, it does involve several steps. Firstly, you will need to download an Android emulator. An emulator is a kind of app that enables you to download and run any Android applications on your macOS.
My preferred choice for an emulator is BlueStacks App Player, a viral and effective platform. However, to download this emulator, you will first need to allow apps from other sources to be installed.
Allow Apps from Unidentified Developer in macOS
By default, your Mac only allows apps from the Mac App Store or identified developers. To download and install an Android emulator, you will have to tweak the settings a bit.

Step #3. Now, see the two radio buttons under ‘Allow apps downloaded from’.
Step #4. Click on App Store and identified developers option and exit the settings.
Now that you have allowed apps from unidentified developers, let’s complete the process and get Snapchat installed on your Mac. As mentioned above, I am going to use BlueStacks for the same.

The best part, the app will work exactly like it did on your smartphone. Along with viewing your friend’s snaps, you can also share yours if you have a functional webcam on the device.
What’s more, you can even save the Snaps on Mac by using screenshots or screen recording, just like your mobile device.
