Russian law requires tech companies to store the data they hold on Russian users locally.

Russian law requires tech companies to store the data they hold on Russian users locally – a requirement international firms have been repeatedly fined for violating. A Russian court fined U.S. tech giants WhatsApp, Snapchat and Tinder on Thursday for refusing to store the personal data of Russian users inside the country, Interfax news agency reported. A Russian court ordered the blocking of business networking platform LinkedIn in 2016 for breaking data protection laws and it has been inaccessible for Russian users ever since.

Snapchat's "Ghost Phone" is its first augmented reality (AR) game via the Snap Minis feature. In it, players hunt ghosts in AR.

This will open the Lens menu. The free game is available via Snap's Minis feature, which are small apps within Snapchat that can offer a wide range of different functions. Called Ghost Phone, Snapchat's new AR game has you digging through a found phone belonging to a teenager named Lisa.

Snapchat for Web doesn't offer all the features of the mobile app, but it does allow users to post a Snap to their story. Here's how to do it.

The social media network is most functional on a phone since there is no official tablet application — it's just an upscaled version of the mobile apps. Though stories uploaded to Snapchat for Web probably haven't been recorded using the Snapchat application, the platform's image and video requirements still apply. Additionally, the website is still a limited version of Snapchat, so that isn't ideal either. Next, under the 'Send To' pages, select 'My Story.' The user will have to read and agree to the Creator Terms, and can click 'Post To Snapchat' to complete the story post. Facebook and Instagram are similar, with only some limitations when they are accessed on the web. There are unique features that users will receive with a Snapchat+ subscription, like Ghost Trails, a story rewatch count, and the ability to make voice and video calls from Snapchat's new web client.

Snapchat has announced a new Sounds Creator Fund aimed at developing artists who distribute music on its platform.

Snapchat first introduced the Sounds on Snap feature in 2020, which allows users to add music to their videos much in the way competitor TikTok does. “I gotta tell you, man, this is something that I’ve discussed with some of the best guitar players in the world,” he explains. I look at [people on] TikTok, ‘What? How do you play that?’”

DistroKid teamed up with Snapchat to let its artists distribute their music to the social platform in March 2021. Creative Support will also be provided to selected artists’ songs. Snap says that, with its new fund, it “wants to help emerging, independent artists produce quality content and build their brands by recognizing Sounds creators who are driving trends and defining cultural moments – not just based on their follower numbers”. Stat Of the Week is supported by Cinq Music Group, a technology-driven record label, distribution, and rights management company. “Snap wants to help emerging, independent artists produce quality content and build their brands by recognizing Sounds creators who are driving trends and defining cultural moments – not just based on their follower numbers”.

Here's how to use Snapchat on a Windows PC, a Mac computer, and more so you can keep in touch with friends when your phone is on the charger.

It's more convenient to answer a call or reply to a message from the device you're currently using, and now you can, even when your phone isn't available, with Snapchat on a PC, Mac, or another computer. Snapchat for Web doesn't work on a mobile browser even if the desktop version of the website is loaded. If Snapchat seems to be stuck loading, check if the browser wants you to open the link in a web app. Of course, Chrome can be installed on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and it comes preloaded on Chrome OS, making this a universal solution for using Snapchat on any computer. You can use Snapchat on a Windows PC, a Mac or MacBook, a Chromebook, and even a Linux computer thanks to recent updates. You'll also need to be a Snapchat+ member to get started right now. Snapchat calls the computer version of its app Snapchat for Web because it works in a web browser. Step 3: You can change cameras before or during a video call if more than one webcam is available, and there are similar controls for the microphone. Anyone else on the call will only see your avatar when video is disabled. If allowed, browser notifications will show up on your computer just as they do for the mobile app. Plug in a webcam if needed, then select the big Camera button. There's currently a limited list that includes only Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. There's a bit of setup required to get started, and this feature isn't available to everyone yet.

On the other hand, the company – like many of its tech peers – is feeling a financial crunch. Snap is a company at an interesting point in its journey. But this is interesting in that it is purely focused on music creators. Snap says these decisions will be “as Snap determines in its sole discretion.” There are a couple of caveats: creators must be based in the U.S., and must distribute their music on Snapchat via DistroKid – and that $100,000 number is a monthly total: the T&Cs say that “Grant Recipients will receive a $5,000 grant.” Snap has announced that, as of August, it will launch a “Snapchat Sounds Creator Fund” which provides monthly grants “of up to $100,000” to top creators using its ‘Sounds’ feature, to “support the independent and emerging artists that are driving creation on Snapchat,” Ted Suh, Snap’s Global Head of Music Partnerships, says.

Snapchat uses a color-coded notification system that includes arrows, rings, and dots in a variety of colors. Here's what the yellow dot means.

Most Snapchat symbols indicate notifications of some sort and are used to convey to the user that they either haven't seen a Snap or a chat message, or that they have sent a message or posted a Snap. While Snapchat+ is only available in a few countries at launch, the company says that it will eventually be rolled out globally. For all these years, the service was only available as a mobile app on Android and iOS, but Snap recently launched a web app that allows users to send messages and make video calls from their desktop.
