So now you have Snapchat on the desktop, and yes this guide is pretty much identical if you’re on Windows PC rather than a Mac.Every new release of macOS breaks some apps which are not updated to work with the latest version. For the best two-way picture messaging with full camera support you’ll probably be better off with the designated smartphone app for either Android or iPhone, but that’s for you to decide. Nonetheless, you can still view picture messages sent to you as usual. Sending and reading messages is the same as if the app was on a smartphone but using a normal keyboard instead, though camera support is shoddy and as a result sending pictures is limited. Snapchat runs within Bluestacks and gives you the exact same app experience that you’d find on Android. If you already have a Snapchat account and username then the friends list will appear on login, otherwise adding friends is easy.

OR: Click Launchpad, find Snapchat and launch it from there (OS X 10.8+ only)Īt this point you can either enter an existing Snapchat username and login, or create a new one right from the app.Return to the Bluestacks home screen, click on “My Apps” and click Snapchat to open the app.Let BlueStacks search the various Android stores, select to install Snapchat from the store furthest to the right with the little Android guy icon.Click the “Install” button next to Snapchat (the proper app has a yellow icon with a ghost in it).Launch Bluestacks and click the “Search” magnifying glass button, type “Snapchat” and click Find.Get Bluestacks (free) and install it on the Mac by dragging it into the Applications folder.Setting this up is quite easy for just about anyone, and if you already have a Snapchat account you’ll instantly have your entire friends list accessible to you from OS X.
