    Hi @.... Unfortunately, Snap does not offer an application specifically for Mac OS. However, I believe that it may be possible to run Snapchat on your Macbook Pro through an emulator like BlueStacks. I am more than happy to guide you.

     

    First, download BlueStacks.

    Next. you will need a google account to log in to the Google Play Store in BlueStacks.

    Then, search for "Snapchat" in the Google Play Store and download it.

    Finally, open Snapchat and log in with your credentials. 

     

    WARNING: I am not aware of Snapchat's policies about using their app through an emulator so I would advise you to check their policies beforehand. Happy snapping!

    Thanks Marco!

    I googled and found many interesting ways to use snapchat over PC but i think its crazy to use on PC but not much good experience because snapchat is only made for Mobile devices.
