Snapchat arrives on Microsoft Store

 


Snapchat, which avoided the Windows platform with no official apps or support, has finally arrived on the Microsoft Store as a Progressive Web App.

According to Windows Central, Snapchat’s Progressive Web App (PWA) will run through Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and 11 PCs.

Progressive Web Application (PWA) is a type of web app that can operate both as a web page and mobile app on any device.

The app is based on Snapchat’s web version, which was released just a few months ago, and is powered by Microsoft’s Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, according to the report.

The app has a tiny 1.4 MB install size, and it ensures that Snapchat is always up to date and has the same features as the web version.

As the app works through Microsoft Edge, Windows will still treat it like a native app, including an app icon in the Start Menu, notification support, and more said the report.

Users can download the Snapchat PWA from the Microsoft Store for free.

In October, the social media platform rolled out several new features, including “Custom Story Expiration”, which allows premium subscribers to control when their stories expire.

Moreover, with the new feature, Snapchat+ (Snapchat Plus) users can set Snaps on their story to expire after one hour or up to one week.

SMART-1, short for "Small Missions for Advanced Research and Technology-1," had embarked on a groundbreaking journey to Earth's natural satellite almost three years prior, with a unique mission focused on testing innovative technologies and conducting scientific research. Launched on September 27, 2003, SMART-1 was not just a spacecraft; it was a technological pioneer. The mission's primary objectives were twofold: to test new propulsion systems, specifically the innovative solar-electric propulsion, and to conduct scientific observations of the Moon. These objectives were integral to ESA's vision of contributing to the global exploration of our cel

  Genetically engineered Immune Cells eliminate Cancerous Tumors Genetically modified immune cells have emerged as a groundbreaking and promising approach in the fight against cancer. These innovative therapies harness the power of the body's own immune system to target and eradicate cancer tumors, offering new hope to patients facing previously incurable diseases. Description of Genetically Modified Immune Cells Targeting Cancer Tumors: 1. Personalized Precision Medicine: Genetically modified immune cell therapies are often personalized for each patient. This approach begins with a biopsy of the patient's tumor, followed by the isolation and genetic modification of their immune cells. This personalized strategy ensures that the treatment is specifically tailored to target the unique characteristics of the patient's cancer. 2. Engineering Immune Cells: Scientists modify immune cells, typically T cells or natural killer cells, to enhance their tumor-fighting abilities. Thi
