Experience a totally new way to share today. Snap a photo or a video, add a caption, and send it to a friend (or maybe a few). They’ll view it, laugh, and then the snap disappears from the screen – unless they take a screenshot. If you want to share a Snap with all of your friends, add it to your Snapchat Story, where each Snap lives for 24 hours until it disappears, making room for the new. You can download Snapchat for free without going to Google Play right here.
The images might be a little grainy, and you may not look your best, but that’s the point. It’s about the moment, a connection between friends in the present, and not just a pretty picture.
The allure of fleeting messages reminds us about the beauty of friendship – we don’t need a reason to stay in touch.

What’s New
When Lenses arrived in 2015, Snapchatters were delighted as they transformed their look through augmented reality – they sprouted dog ears, changed hair color in an instant, and shared with their friends who couldn’t wait to react to the fun.
Recent advancements in AI are unlocking even more possibilities. Starting today, with a new Gen AI powered feature called Dreams, Snapchatters can create fantastical images that let them try on new identities – be it a mermaid in a deep-seascape, or a renaissance era royal.
To start, the feature lets you use your own face to create up to eight of these Generated AI selfies – and soon, because we know Snapchatters love bringing their friends into the equation, Dreams can feature you and any friend who has also opted in.
To get started, head to Memories, where there’s a new tab for Dreams. With a few selfies, you can create a personalized Generative AI model and start checking out your Dreams. Your first eight are complimentary, and you can make more with an in-app purchase. It’s first available starting slowly in Australia and New Zealand, and coming to Snapchatters globally over the next few weeks.
