Snapchat users have waited years for this moment to access Snapchat from the web, now it's finally arrived.

[{"selector":"#anim-384de018-bcb4-4a00-aa25-59109b0295b8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-5.161026147225276%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76f1546f-21f5-44f8-b682-81ad5e641882","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4c622c9e-92c8-45a8-aa92-f60ea7dcf66e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 426.09009%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

On Monday, Snap.Inc made an announcement that its users can make conversations from all devices for the web.

[{"selector":"#anim-d18c9a34-e8e1-485a-a667-af7714246caf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(19.053371331380543%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-832baa95-b0ec-48ad-a07c-2497f6644d62","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -237.48245%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -66.78006494%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -22.70332222%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -8.525619955%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -3.70472622%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":1600,"fill":"both"}]

Now you will not have to use snapchat on mobile but also, you can use it on the computer due to the web version launch.

[{"selector":"#anim-ce2a1739-19d9-4e84-9fe6-e044a443b5c8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-4.365658795291623%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8d969c0-db2c-4369-b54b-73fbb50b4917","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -237.48245%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -66.78006494%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -22.70332222%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -8.525619955%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -3.70472622%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":1600,"fill":"both"}]

This new web app will support both voice and video calls.

[{"selector":"#anim-b64cfbec-7ad8-4dab-8091-2607da03afbc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(20.1203716638058%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c7929e6-c57f-4bf3-a5b3-b255c74fc68d","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -321.65528%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -90.44946473600001%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -30.750244768%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -11.547424552%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -5.017822368%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":1600,"fill":"both"}]

For this, you will need a paid subscription service called SnapChat Plus for sending and receiving chats.

[{"selector":"#anim-885cb6f0-f458-443b-8ea4-d05ca0ebcb9e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-6.538722639224629%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dca5f9e4-c61a-4836-8bd5-cb2c96e668e1","keyframes":[{"transform":"rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","opacity":0},{"transform":"none","opacity":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Snap.Inc launched Snapchat Plus in the recent last month with a cost of $3.99 every month.

[{"selector":"#anim-38680d99-21c0-438f-82e2-a273d380e66e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(19.577105702822557%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b48b7bbe-c833-42fc-bb77-f4b88850fa98","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf472f5e-794e-44eb-b0d5-f47e45777ab1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 527.51747%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Snapchat for web seems to be the 1st exclusive feature because it will give access to the exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features.

[{"selector":"#anim-91f01676-2b4d-41e7-bd8d-dac367d513ba [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-12.480491753445797%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b83484b5-94f8-4068-b206-87a1ad8409b6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15ac8625-175c-427e-bd78-20a229f16d09","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dab4c2ed-7cdb-43da-b2da-1d7f4ff215c5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

However, the bad news is that Snapchat Plus is restricted to the paid users only.

[{"selector":"#anim-c1854173-65b7-4092-a954-25468b890ab5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-13.023121829682601%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12e5c1a8-5424-4aca-913d-3b1fdd0be3d9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-93fd732c-e4a9-487f-93f9-5d0f61838105","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62cd41e8-47e5-457c-8204-1f0b001c7eab","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The good news is that it will be free soon for everyone to use and access snapchat for the web.

[{"selector":"#anim-ddc55832-c9eb-472a-a880-b0fe4b388243","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-09bf5eb1-4c9e-417e-afdc-6147b1cee04a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17d627f5-889c-4963-a1a8-2fdf870c1cb3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(19.033839741839316%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Then, you could access it from web.snapchat.com for free on the web app.

[{"selector":"#anim-1be5ca36-253b-474c-aedf-9122e1e3f22d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(19.033839741839316%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14f471bc-f4c4-418b-ab00-5105f2f69eee","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -321.65528%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -90.44946473600001%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -30.750244768%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -11.547424552%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -5.017822368%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":1600,"fill":"both"}]

For the paid subscribers, Web apps will provide many features like Chat Reactions and Chat Reply.

[{"selector":"#anim-49cf2221-6cf6-474b-9f54-45aca64bfd29 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(19.033839741839316%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d8b7a6a-9ca0-4cab-a2ad-9087b58789e6","keyframes":[{"transform":"rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","opacity":0},{"transform":"none","opacity":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

In the future, Snapchat plans to add Lenses, not adding this until now is one of the largest drawbacks after their arrival.
