You can finally watch and share Snapchat videos without the app
You can finally watch and share Snapchat videos without the app.
As ubiquitous as Snapchat may seem for a certain segment of the population, Snap, the company behind the app is still looking for ways to expand its reach and attract new users. To that end, Snap on Tuesday announced that users will be able to send some Snapchat Stories to their friends via email or text message. Recode reports that Snapchat will create a link for the Story, which will direct the recipient to a video player on Snapchat.com.

For the time being, only certain Stories will be shareable with a link. For example, your own personal Stories will still be relegated to the app, but Our Stories, Search Stories and Official Stories can all be shared. Not only does this give Snap some degree of control over the content being shared on other platforms, but that content is also more likely to be relevant to a larger audience. No matter how great your Stories are, celebrities win every time.
