Despite being mostly a communications app, Snapchat also used to be known for its in-app games that users could play with their contacts. But does Snapchat still have games?

Snapchat is one of the most popular social media platforms, used by millions of people every day who send pictures, videos, and other media via the app.

You could play a series of minigames such as Aquapark in the app, which would allow you to compete with your friends. But does Snapchat still offer games in the app in 2024?

Are Snapchat games gone?

Yes, Snapchat has removed the games feature on the app. In reply to a tweet on February 7, 2023, the company confirmed: “Games and Minis are no longer available. We’ll be bringing more focus to other Snapchat products and features that will be beneficial to creators and content viewers.”

Snapchat is still a hugely popular social media platform.

Going to the ‘Games on Snapchat’ page on their website now leads to a message that reads, “Important: Games are no longer available.”

The removal of the games feature seems to have come as a disappointment to the people who frequently used the feature, but whether it will be making a comeback at any point remains to be seen.
