Snapchat is the popular Instant Messaging service used by millions of users worldwide. But As Microsoft does not owns the Official Snapchat Application on the Windows phone stores, the people who used to Download the Snapchat from the Third party sources will not be able to use the snapchat onwards for the windows phone. Microsoft set to lock all third party app users account from the service by following the snapchat’s announcement. Snapchat is currently available for only Android and iOS platforms.

United states company does not owns the Official application for Windows phone so the person who runs the Microsoft windows operating system on smartphones, can’t download the snapchat or similar compatible apps like 6snap. So the main goal is to improve the security by blocking the Third party IM app access.
