Snapchat, the app that has given us many embarrassing selfies and some pretty ones, courtesy filters; is all set to hit your laptop screens.

After existing only on mobile phones, Parent company Snap Inc. is building a new version of Snapchat for the upcoming Pixelbook by Google

Google announced its new Pixelbook during their event held on Wednesday in San Francisco. According to which, it’s function will be a cross between a laptop and a tablet and will run on Chrome OS.

“We’re thrilled to announce that the Snap team is working with us to bring an amazing Snapchat experience to the larger screen on Pixelbook,” Google hardware exec Matt Vokoun said.

Snapchat is a little late in following suit of the desktop versions of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

 

However, we are scratching our heads while thinking how the app, which opens to the phone’s rear camera by default, will function on the larger Pixelbook.

It was revealed that the Pixelbook has a front facing camera that would allow for selfies to be sent via Snapchat, but the laptop lacks a rear camera.

Two obvious use cases would be allowing Snapchat users to message each other on the Pixelbook’s physical keyboard and access their saved photos and videos through the app’s Memories feature, according to Tech Insider.

More details regarding this will be shared closer to the launch date.
