What is Snapchat?
Snapchat - Messaging
Snapchat is a social media platform that allows users to send photos and videos that disappear after being viewed. It is known for its ephemeral nature, as messages (or "Snaps") are usually only accessible for a short period.

Peer-to-Peer Detection with DPI
Applications such as Snapchat use peer-to-peer signaling protocols to establish direct connections between devices, often leveraging dynamic IP changes. Netify protocol detection is the best way to properly track this type of network session.
Snapchat Network
Some organizations deploy all or parts of an application solution through their own infrastructure instead of third party hosting providers like AWS or Google Cloud Platform. The following is a sample of active IP addresses on the Snapchat Network.
| Sample IP | ASN | ASN Description | Route | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 104.193.185.253 | AS395291 | Snapchat | 104.193.185.0/24 | Hong Kong |
Core Networks
Applications are sometimes deployed on partner networks, parent company networks, or regional hosting providers. The following is a sample of Snapchat IP addresses deployed on this type of network.
