Unofficial Snapchat app 6snap for Windows Phone has been updated. The developer, Rudy Huyn, has added some cool new pruning options for users in version 3.2. This new functionality enables users to better manage conversations on their Windows Phone. Previously, we looked at Huyn implementing major performance and design improvements.
So what can users do with this latest update? It's now possible to clear a specific conversation or prune absolutely everything in the app and start fresh. These are highly anticipated features that makes life easier. If you're an avid Snapchat user and are new to the platform, be sure to check out 6snap, a favorite when it comes to quickly sharing photos.
Thanks to everyone who tipped us!

6snap gets updated with conversation pruning to keep everything neat and tidy
The only thing we need in 6snap is White Black Brown and the other colors that are missing
How do you add the time on your pictures on 6snap, sorry im not very smart at all. Haha :p
I shed tears of joy when I got this update... :'D
Every time i see surface pro 3 it makes me feel "I want this device"..
Me too :D
My sentiments exactly!
Always Nice
I think rudy has been busy finishing up the lockscreen app for wp 8.1 so it's a bit slower on other app updates. Cant wait to touch the new lock screen.
On an unrelated and somewhat off-topic note, I'm happy to see the comments email notifications working again! :)
Why 6tag and 6snap is slow to open? Arrrrgghh
What I wonder. Will this app enable me to sent snapchats to my friends on android and iOS using the official app?
Or is this just a alternatief, Windows Phone users only?

Dude, I'm using 6 snap for more than half a year now. It's even better than the official snapchat app. Of course you can send pictures to people using the official one as it's using snapchat's servers
Okay thnx!
I'm still wondering though, how is it possible to use servers from an official app (from iOS and/or Android) that is'nt yours and make it work with a un official app for WP8.
Can't wrap my mind around it, how it's possible and legal to do so :-)

I think snapchat is happy to have someone who makes an unofficial app for them, even if it's just for brand awareness. There will be collaboration between Rudy and Snapchat I assume :p
Hail Rudy!
Why the background of the surface in the phone looks different than the background of the surface that is in the picture? :)
You're looking at the start screen background in the pic on the phone, versus the lock screen on the actual Surface.
Hahaha +625
Yeah, and i think that mode is camera not picture :)
Ah, maybe he "snapped" the pic, and a split second later his Surface locked? Who knows...
Why Rudy not updating Wikipedia app by last update one of the best feature of app offline read gone...pls Rudy update the appp....pls someone point out to him about the problem...
Tapatalk (Dark Theme, Navigation Bar added), Sticky Notes HD & MUSIC+ updated too.
I hope we get an official snapchat app soon
Only possible if Microsoft buys snapchat
But if Microsoft buys it people will just drop the service instantaneously in the thousands if not millions just because it's Microsoft and the image they're known for.
+1 for your name.
Really....???
Pretty sure that's not true.
Nice pic!
I love this app, but it's missing one thing. Instantaneous push notification.
Yeah I hate the fact that those damn push notifications don't come instantaneously
There is no push notifications with 6snap. Push is handeled by snapchats own servers, which for obvious reasons dont push to 6snap. I would however wish that the background agent could be set to 1min, 5min in addition to 30min.
He can 'rent' a server to get Push Notifications working.
I can't do it for 2 reasons :
- you can't be connected on 2 different devices (2 phones or 1 phone+1 ipad or... 1 phone and 1 server)
- Snapchat will ban the server IP immediately
I know its not possible. I didn't mean it as an insult to you or the app. It's just an feature I'm missing. Thanks so much for the wonderful work you do :)
agreed, it's the only thing letting it down. still a great app though!
I hope master Rudy would update TVShow too and put real trakt.tv integration.
Wikipedia too
Sometimes I feel this app could be better. Not feature wise, but UX-wise. It feels very, um, bloated, for some reason. Not smooth.
Absolutely. Though I believe Rudy is attempting an experience almost identical to the official SC apps on other platforms. The Snapchat team need to invest in a UX designer because currently it's a mess. Did you know that some features are located in the settings on iOS? They literally add new features and then hide them away in the settings toggled off. They're not even things that need to be tuned off, at least Rudy got that right. My friends on iOS: "Wait, I can replay snaps and add filters to snaps?? I never knew that!" "Yes, but you have to go to the settings and toggle it on
I understand and I'm not totally happy with the current UI (the 6Snap UI for Windows 8 will be different), but it seems very important for users to retrieve exactly the same experience than on ios/android.
Surely the official app is not far away with the new video feature......speaking of, where is the video for instagram? It's been in Beta for ever!
We all are suffering because of that stupid facebook who's apps are crap on windows phone and android. They only want ios to be updated
Try the new Facebook beta. New design. :)
Facebook beta is much better than the public version.
Facebook (beta) app is fine.
6s app,6 book and 6 windows is soon
6tag, 6snap updated and 6tin added. Rudy on a roll. Even though I don't use 6snap and 6tin I'll install and rate them just to thank Rudy. :)
Also 6tag it's been updated this morning
But it's still not possible to upload Videos from the Library.
Nevertheless I like 6tag more than Instagram.
I see no improvements, probably only bugfixes
I only noticed the option to remove a specific conversation, or remove all conversations. Which was not posible before 3.2
Did you read the article?
I was talking about 6tag
6tag update is just bug fixes
6tin as well.
Seriously, 6snap is the first Windows Phone 8 app I've bought (first Windows Phone app I bought ever was Metrotube). If I actually bother keeping Tinder I'll probably buy 6tin as well. Definitely don't mind supporting Rudy in his efforts!
