It was the first time that the platform was offered beyond mobile. The web version was only open to paid subscribers, but now it's open to everyone.
Today, a round-up of new features was announced. Users can chat and video call with their friends on the web using the app. The head of messaging product at the company said in an interview that a web version of the app was an "unmet opportunity"
Users can use the web version to chat and video call with friends in the same window. The company said in July that one hundred million users call others each month, and they chat with other users before the app closes.
A few dollars a month for early and exclusive access to features is whatSnapchat Plus subscribers pay for. More than a million people have signed up for the paid tier in the first six weeks, and early indications are that it's a success.
