Step 5: Sign in to Snapchat
Once Snapchat is installed, you can launch it from within Bluestacks. Sign in with your existing Snapchat account or create a new one if you don’t have an account already.

Now that you have successfully installed and signed in to Snapchat, you can use it just like you would on a mobile device. You can send photos and videos, add filters and effects, view stories from your friends, and more.

Additional Tips:
