Snapchat team is blocking who uses third-party app

[anon(9174535)]

AFAIK Snapchat have announced a public API but I suspect that it won't be here quick enough to save 6snap, we'll have to wait and see. Might be worth heading here and putting in your vote for Windows Phone:

Make your voice heard on Twitter. Maybe some things would change if we collectively as a large group made our voices heard to Snapchat that we deserve an app. That's right - DESERVE

I don't get the surprise by so many. Snapchat devs are within their right to block the use of their work product especially since Rudy didn't pay for it nor have permission to build onto it. At the same time it should be clear that WP want to use this app and they should be good sports and allow us in. But if they don't, you get get to steal from them then get incensed when they change the locks.

I think this tweet from Rudy should demonstrate alone to Snapchat how important having an app for WP should be to them...

 

[Vitor Salvatore Pierce]

I think we need a official app ASAP
And about that?

Snapchat recently had a security breach. Wouldn't the move to block 3rd party apps be related to that?

If there's one good reason to use official apps, it's security. Especially apps where credentials (username/password) are required.

Except WP doesn't actually have an official Snapchat app though.

Snap chat is at least thinking about making an app, considering I found this on their website https://support.snapchat.com/ca/incompatible

There is nothing unfair about it. Snapchat is a private business that can support or not support whoever they please. They don't owe anybody anything. I doubt they have a vested interest in blocking users, so there must be a valid reason for doing what they're doing with 3rd party apps. Security maybe?

Careful now, using logic like that around here is gonna get you reported to a mod or something...

Seems like Rudy is telling people to ignore the email.

Maybe he has permission from Snapchat?

Good find mate, it sounds like he may know something we don't.

Could be. I use both, original snap on Android tablet and 6snap on WP and I didn't get the mail.

how do you use both? itll log you out on the other device if you log in on one
i also use it on my ipad and 720

 

[Richard Culverhouse]

I'd email them back and tell them where to stick their service lol.
If enough people would do it, they might take a hint and release an official app.

I use tablet at home and Lumia 820 on the go. 10.1"tablet is a little too big to carry out around all the time

it might even pressurise them to contact Rudy and make 6snap official or something
very plausable

Erm...this is a thread about Snapchat, but in it, you're crusading out of context against Google(as usual). For a person who has been extremely vocal about your hate for everything Google, why now are you mad that their services aren't on Windows Phone?

Not to mention MS doesn't seem to care about bringing their own apps to WP first anymore. Back in the day MS pulled this kind of thing and would do the same today if they had the market share. The only reason they're so open and cross platform friendly today is they know they have to be to stay relevant in a multi-platform environment, but they wish they dominated and didn't have to care about being open IMO.

Windrows Phone is a distant third and that's why the apps aren't there, and no one should expect a competitor like Google to help MS.

There isn't a doubt in my mind that Office on Windows Phone will be better than it is on all of the competition. I'll be glad when it is, just so we can put this to rest.
