Snapchat and 6snap???

[Windows Central Question]

I am thinking about buying the nokia lumia 830 but i wanted to know if snapchat is avalible on the device. I am aware there is a very similar app called 6snap and i was wondering if i can add users who have snapchat on this app or if it will only work with other 6snap others.
Thank you in advance.

Please read a few of the threads right on this same page...

SnapChat had a recent breach due to 3rd party app and are in the process of locking out users who log in via 3rd party app. 6snap users are among those effected and there is NO official SnapChat App to move to... So no answer to SnapChat when they say use our App or get locked out of your account.

You can add anyone who uses Snapchat on 6snap.

Other than its origins and name, it is very similar to Snapchat.
However, we are currently in the middle of an issue with Snapchat, as RumoredNow has outlined.

Changing the password regains access to Snapchat via 6snap, - at least temporarily but things are complicated right now.

TL;DR - 6snap works great, but may result in temporary bans as Snapchat locks down its service, with us in the crossfire.
