Snapchat is the official Snapchat app for Windows. With it, you can access this popular social network and talk to your friends, as well as create new content to share. Content creation is more limited than on Android, since it's limited to your computer's webcam and some basic filters. The mobile version of Snapchat remains the best option for creating new content.
What the PC version does allow you to do is to talk to your friends using the computer keyboard and send them all kinds of snaps. You can choose whether to send them exclusively to certain contacts or make them publicly visible. Similarly, you can also make video calls to your contacts using your computer's microphone and webcam.
From Snapchat, you can even create and manage your own Bitmoji without depending on your smartphone. With this feature, you can customize your own avatar to look like you, then use it to communicate with your friends on the app.
The Snapchat app is basically a Webview of the web version of this social network that works via the Progressive Web App (PWA) mechanism. This requires having Microsoft Edge installed in order to use it. However, it's very convenient to have a shortcut to the app so you can quickly access it. So, if you want to use Snapchat natively on your PC, downloading Snapchat for Windows is the best option.
