Finally, users who haven’t forgotten Snapchat and want to use this social platform on their Apple tablet can rejoice. Snapchat was originally launched for iOS in 2011, but since then the app has only been available for the iPhone. iPad users could only launch the app with huge black borders, which significantly affected the user experience. After 13 years, Snapchat finally offers native iPad support.

Snapchat now runs natively on the iPad
The latest version of Snapchat for iOS enables iPad support, meaning the app now runs in full-screen mode on the iPadOS operating system. “It’s still the same Snapchat you know and love, but this time on the big screen.” the company says in the update release notes. As a result, Snapchat now offers native iPad support. This means that Snapchat fills the entire screen of the iPad, giving you more space when taking so-called Snaps and allowing you to see more friends on the second and fourth tabs. However, it seems that Snapchat has not yet had time to fully optimize its app for tablets. That’s why it can only run in vertical mode – at least for now. There is no way to use the app in landscape mode. The iPad interface also looks quite imperfect in this first version. Snapchat has introduced many AI-based features to its app throughout this year. This includes, for example, the ability to talk to the “My AI” chatbot in live chat to create a reminder or start a countdown. Users can also create Bitmoji avatars using AI.
Snapchat is available for free in the App StoreThe app requires a device running iOS 13 or higher.
