Snapchat removes the best way that Windows Phone users can demand the app

Snapchat, for those unaware, is a messaging app where the photos, videos and accompanying messages all self-destruct ten seconds after they are opened by the recipient. Currently available for iOS and Android, Windows Phone users have long requested a version of the app for their platform. On Snapchat's support page there used to be a way for Windows Phone users to get their voices heard.

The Snapchat support site at one time, had an option entitled 'Support My Incompatible Device.' Windows Phone users could use that link to slam their shoe on a virtual table and demand a Windows Phone version of the app. But now, that option has disappeared from Snapchat.

Windows Phone users have been relying on third party Snapchat clients like 6Snap. Some see the glass half filled and believe that by removing the 'Support My Incompatible Device' link, Snapchat is hinting that a Windows Phone version of the app is coming soon. That might be wishful thinking.

Windows Phone users need Snapchat more than Snapchat needs Windows Phone users right now. Even without support from Windows Phone, the messaging app had a valuation of as much as $19 billion during the negotiations leading up to its latest financing round. The company is looking to raise $500 million.
