It always helps to do a bit of research before purchasing your phone. Unfortunately it is something that the developers of snapchat are snobbish about when it comes to creating one for Windows Phone. I use to use it, but I dont think it is something I require to have functionality on a smartphone.
Now it is possible it may come in the future with some app porting like capabilities that Microsoft are working on. We do not know when or if it will happen.

Only people under 25 use snapchat, you'll grow out of it soon

On a serious note, the CEO and founder of snapchat hates Windows, though the company will need to expand to our platform once their growth slows so it will get here eventually. But seriously, do you know anyone mature who uses snapchat?

I'm sorry. This is a bit backwards. SnapChat does not support Windows Phone. They have refused to make an official App, then after an incident on another platform with a 3rd party App causing a security breach of user data, they demanded all 3rd party SnapChat Apps be pulled from the Windows Phone App Store. Microsoft had no choice but to honor that request.

Just to be clear…

This is a fan based News and Discussion site. It is in no way run by Microsoft, Lumia or any developer.

For any specific App it is up to that App’s developer to publish it for Windows Phone. We have absolutely no control over that.

To be fair, I know some young people who act more mature than some more aged persons I've known and these young people do use SnapChat.

Also some old dogs do use new tricks.
