Snapchat has rolled out a highly requested feature for iPad users. This adds on to the expansive list of updates brought out in 2024. Following its latest update, the social media app now works natively on the Apple device. Users will no more need to optimise the iPhone app for the tablet.

This year, the platform has introduced several new features. This includes editable chats and emoji reactions. It will now allow users to interact with friends and loved ones in newer ways.

Snapchat Updated With iPad Support

Snapchat was rolled out on iOS in 2011. Until now, iPad users could run it on their devices. However, the experience was pretty substandard, with broad black borders surrounding the small portrait window. This is just like the Instagram app.

The changelog for Snapchat 13.4.0.41 on the App Store states that the app now offers “native support for iPad”. When capturing photo or video snaps, it will apparently present a larger canvas to users. Additionally, it will also enable them to see more friends on the second and fourth tabs. While Snapchat is now fit for the larger displays on Apple’s tablets, it can only do so in portrait mode. .

Recently Released Snapchat Features

Snapchat has received substantial updates with several new features over the past few months. Last year, Snap, the developer of the social media platform, introduced My AI. It is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that allows users to have conversations. They can also set reminders, generate images and do more. However, some of its features are only accessible to the subscribers of Snapchat+.

A recent update will apparently support editing messages. This will enable users to modify messages up to five minutes after sending them. The Emoji Reactions feature, on the other hand, enhances the chat experience. It allows users to react to messages with any emoji.
