If you love things that are short and sweet, Snapchat is a cool social media to have around. Appearing only for a short time, you can send photos or videos to anyone without worrying if the content sticks around to embarrass you later.

The main idea of Snapchat is to allow users to create short content called snaps, which disappear after the recipient viewed the message. It is unique, fun, and a smart way to send reactions to friends.

But, there is more to Snapchat than just disappearing pictures and videos. With new updates for enhancements, the social media app now offers added features to create more engaging and exciting snaps. You can share chronological stories to your friends and followers that add thrill and anticipation on their part. Users can start live video chats or create different Bitmoji avatars. There are added filters and AR-based lenses that will expand your creativity in making snaps.

With all these new features, it would be great to use Snapchat on more devices such as Chromebook. You can get and add Snapchat to your Chromebook by downloading and installing it as an app or using it online via the Google Chrome web browser.
