Snapchat is officially coming to your wrist. The first ever Snapchat app for Apple Watch just launched, here are the details.
New Snapchat app for watchOS is all about messaging
Snapchat has nearly a billion users, but until now it has never offered a native Apple Watch app.
That’s finally changed.
From Snap’s announcement post:
With the Snapchat app on Apple Watch, you can preview an incoming message and reply using the Keyboard, Scribble, Dictation, or send an emoji. Respond to let your friend know you’re “here” when you’re meeting up at a restaurant. Out for a run? Glance down and send a quick reply without breaking stride.
Unlike some early Apple Watch social networking apps, Snapchat seems highly focused on doing one thing well: letting users message their friends.
Previously, you could of course receive Snapchat messages on your Apple Watch via a paired iPhone. But without a native watchOS app, there was no way to reply from your wrist.
It’s nice to see a major social network invest in the Apple Watch, and offer an app that doesn’t overcomplicate things. Here’s hoping the trend continues.
