    There's no charge for downloading the Android Snapchat application from the Google Play Store. At the time of writing, there's also no paid-for content included in the application. All of the functions and filters are free of charge, and it's possible to add hundreds of friends to the friends list without cost.
  • Does Snapchat for Android have filters?

    Just like iOS, the Android version of Snapchat supports the use of filters to overlay on videos and images.

    Some users have reported inferior image quality on the Android version of Snapchat, when compared to the iOS version of the app. This is not due to camera hardware, as the same effect can even be seen when comparing brand new Android phones with older Apple handsets. It is in fact down to the way the application has been coded.

    After taking a video or image on the Android version of the Snapchat application, there's an option in the lower-left of the screen that allows it to be saved to the phone or tablet's gallery. Saving other people's messages can be done via the screenshot function, though the sender of the message is notified when this action is performed.
  • Why does Snapchat for Android have more colours?

    Though the Apple application has a colour slider, making it very hard to locate a specific colour time and time again, the Android version contains a colour picker with 33 colours and translucent options. There's no solid explanation as to why the Android app has a wider variety of colours than the iPhone or iPad version.
