Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why am I not receiving snap notifications?
A: First, check that Chrome notifications are enabled: click the lock icon in your address bar and set notifications to "Allow". Also verify that Snapchat Web is open and you're logged in. The extension needs an active session to detect snaps.
Q: The unread counter shows 0 but I have snaps!
A: Try refreshing the Snapchat Web page. The counter reads from the page interface - if Snapchat Web itself isn't showing the unread count, the extension can't detect it. Make sure you're not in "Do Not Disturb" mode.
Q: Can I use this with multiple Snapchat accounts?
A: Yes! Simply log out and scan a different QR code. The extension will automatically work with whichever account is active in Snapchat Web.
Q: Does this work with Snapchat+ features?
A: The extension works with standard Snapchat Web features. Some Snapchat+ features may not be fully supported on the web version.
Q: Is my login information secure?
A: Absolutely. The extension never sees your QR code or login credentials. You authenticate directly with Snapchat's servers via QR code scanning on your phone.
Q: Can I customize notification sounds?
A: Yes! Open extension settings from the floating toolbar or right-click menu. You can choose from 5 different sound packs or upload custom sounds.
Q: Why does Snapchat Web keep asking me to log in?
A: Snapchat Web sessions expire after some time for security. Use the "Remember me" option when logging in to extend your session. The extension cannot bypass Snapchat's security policies.
Q: The floating toolbar disappeared!
A: Click the extension icon in your toolbar to reopen the toolbar on Snapchat Web. If it still doesn't appear, refresh the page.
