— Rudy Huyn (@RudyHuyn) January 7, 2016 The reason for this is that Snapchat originally stated that the removal of third-party apps was needed due to security concerns and targeted all platforms, but in the end, only Windows Phone was affected. Huyn successfully managed to create a Snapchat client called 6snap, but it was ultimately removed for the very same reason. Huyn explains the following, though he does state that he was not allowed to speak on the matter at all otherwise he could have been met with a serious lawsuit on his hands. So what does Microsoft have to do to bring Snapchat on Windows 10 Mobile? Meet up with them and settle on a deal that will bring an official app to the store. The whole reason why the entire scuffle took place was because Microsoft chose to bring 3rd party applications to the Windows Store rather than an official one. So is it possible that an official Snapchat app will appear on the app store anytime soon? It is highly unlikely, but if both companies are willing to bury their differences then who knows.
