Snapchat has gone after 6discover app on Windows Phone
Snapchat is one of those odd niche services that has indeed exploded in popularity. To stay truly fancy it has indeed been branching out recently with interesting features, such as sending money and a cool fresh rich-media content platform, called Detect.
All of this, however, has remained inaccessible for Windows Phone users. Snapchat has indeed determined to distance itself from the OS, but a few third-party developers have been working hard to bring the practice to Windows users. One such effort is 6discover, an app that lets you access Snapchat's detect media on a Lumia device. In a latest development, its creator has been under a lot of warmth to take the app down, form no other than Snapchat.
The following email was made public today, courtesy of Snapchat, Inc. It puts forward some absolutely valid copyright claims and requests the app be taken down from the App store.
And, while the request is absolutely justified, especially considering the content in Snapchat Detect is developed particularly for the platform, it is yet another lump of bad news for Snapchat fans with Windows phones.
6discover is still up on the windows phone store, but we expect it to vanish pretty soon. So, if you are glutton for Snapchat's fresh multimedia content, be sure to head on over and grab it while you can and hope it resumes to work after its forthcoming demise.
