Snapchat has always been criticized for not releasing Snapchat for Windows platform. Even when Microsoft announced UWP to make a developer’s experience easier to build a Windows 10 app, or when they announced app bridges to port iOS applications directly to Windows 10 platform, Snapchat did not bother to build an app for the UWP Platform. It is often referred to as one of the reasons why Microsoft’s Windows Phone strategy did not work well and was discontinued. But lately, Snapchat has been in high crises. Their userbase is falling mainly because of Instagram. Instagram is a dominant player offering the same features. Snap is, therefore, expanding on the basis of its strengths.
