Build a Stunning Snapchat-Like Social Media App
We help you launch a feature-rich, scalable, and custom-branded Snapchat clone. Includes stories, disappearing messages, AR filters, camera features, chat, streaks, lenses, and more — built for iOS, Android, and web.
Features in Our Snapchat Clone App
We build modern, scalable social media apps with full Snapchat-like capabilities — including custom filters, ephemeral content, camera SDKs, and chat APIs — all tailored to your brand and audience.
Camera & AR Filters
Enable users to capture and share photos/videos with real-time face filters, effects, and augmented reality lenses. We integrate custom camera SDKs (e.g., Snapkit alternatives) for a smooth, branded experience.
Stories (24-Hour Posts)
Allow users to share content that disappears after 24 hours. Support public stories, private stories, and highlights — with swipe navigation, animations, and auto-play just like Snapchat.
One-to-One & Group Chat
Real-time messaging with optional disappearing messages, media sharing, reactions, voice notes, and encryption support — built with scalable chat APIs and socket-based architecture.
Streaks & Messaging Stats
Create user engagement via daily streaks, activity counters, snap scores, and custom metrics. Encourage daily usage and gamified retention through visual interactions.
Voice & Video Calling
Enable peer-to-peer video and voice calls with real-time media streaming, low latency, and in-call camera filters or AR effects. Built using WebRTC or native SDKs.
Bitmoji & Avatar Integration
Allow users to personalize their identity using cartoon avatars or bitmoji-style stickers. We can create custom avatar builders or integrate 3rd-party avatar SDKs.
Map View & Location Sharing
Include features like Snap Map with location-based status, check-ins, or nearby friend discovery. Powered by real-time geolocation APIs with full privacy controls.
Admin Dashboard & Analytics
Manage your app from a secure backend with user analytics, content moderation, notifications, ad management, and monetization settings — fully customizable to your business model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What core features are included - disappearing messages, stories, AR filters?
Yes, all three: real-time disappearing chat, 24-hour stories, and AR filter/lens effects are core to the build, along with snap-style photo/video capture.
Do you build custom AR filters, or just the infrastructure to support them?
We build the AR infrastructure and integrate filter/lens capabilities - custom filter design can be scoped separately depending on how deep you want to go.
Can this be adapted for a business use case, like AR try-on for retail?
Yes - the AR and camera-first architecture adapts well beyond social messaging, including retail try-on or marketing use cases.
How is user privacy handled for disappearing content?
Content expiry and ephemeral messaging are built into the data architecture, not just hidden in the UI while still stored indefinitely.
What's the underlying tech stack?
Real-time infrastructure for chat and stories, with AR/camera capabilities layered in for the video and filter features.
