No!, really, you can’t use snapchat app on an apple watch. However, you can use your apple watch as a remote control to take pictures when you open snapchat app on your Apple Phone in camera mode.

Can you get snapchat on apple watch like on iPhone?

No. It is disappointing if you are snapchat user and apple fan, but Officially, Snapchat is not available on the Apple Watch. To keep it simply stupid, Apple watches do not support snapchat app, unfortunately.

This sounds disappointing, right? Snapchat may be available for iOS devices like iPhone, but it is not available for or compatible with watchOS devices, even this newest Apple watch series 7 smartwatch.

Again, Snapchat is not available on apple watch probably because larger tech companies might have dropped their app support for apple watches after Apple decided as a policy, to support only native apps on their watch interface.

Another possible reason why there’s no snapchat on apple watches is that they don’t have cameras. The fact that Apple Smart Watches don’t come with cameras could meanwhile, snapchat works on the device with the camera.

Could the lack of a camera on Apple watch be a flaw or Apple does not just want to make their watches totally independent of their iPhones?

If the snapchat app has to work on Apple watches, it is either Snapchat or Apple that has to make it work (perhaps fix a bug) compatibly with Apple Watch’s watchOS software. Or they should be a change of policy by either or both parties.

Can you get snapchat on apple watch by alternate means?

YES, there is one clever way to get snapchat on apple watch. Snapchat doesn’t have an official Apple Watch app or there is no Apple watch snapchat compatibility.

Luckily for most apple snapchat fans, a Reddit user had got a way how to get snapchat on apple watch running. This can help you to confidently walk away and use your apple as a remote shutter, to capture videos and take photos on your iPhone positioned at far distance.

You know why this trick works awesomely? The Snapchat depends on your iPhone’s volume buttons to actually snap pictures, and this Reddit genius found a way they can tweak an Apple watch volume to register the same effect as pressing volume button of your iPhone.

But this does not seem enough, for someone who wants to use snapchat on his apple watch as a standalone app. In that case, how can I get snapchat on my apple watch?
