Just over one week ago, we received word that Swapchat, the first fully functional app that can access Snapchat on Windows Phone was being pulled. The reason was due to a copyright complaint from the Snapchat makers, who legally exercised their right to protect their content.
That was an unfortunate blow to Windows Phone users who were enjoying the service and it was very different from the ‘turn the other cheek’ approach of Instagram and Instance.
Now we can we verify that Swapchat Free (but not the paid version) is back in the Store and can be downloaded to your Windows Phone 7.x or 8 device.

We haven’t spoken to the developers behind Swapchat, SRC Apps, but our hunch may be that the Snapchat folks took issue with the paid version, aka charging people to use the service (the app is free on other platforms). Though that’s just speculation on our part.
Either way, if you missed the app or recently switched devices, then you’ll want to grab Swapchat while you can, just in case it goes missing again. It is still the same version 1.3 released a few weeks ago.
We were expecting an official app from Snapchat on Windows Phone later this month, but so far any more information on that release has gone cold. We’ll keep you posted if we hear more.
Pick up Swapchat for all Windows Phone devices here in the Store for free (ad supported), or swipe to the right in our app.
Update: Availability seems spotty with the app listed as published in the Store but showing as 'not available for your device' for some users. We're not sure if it's in error, or a rollout issue or even a glitch.
Update 2: And it's gone! Something odd happened with the store because we were able to verify that it was published, but alas, it has been pulled again.

These past few weeks have been tough for ‘Snapchatters’ on Windows Phone who have been dealing with banned accounts and top Snapchat alternatives being removed from the store. Luckily Reddit user immewnity has found a way for users to continue sending and receiving snaps on their phones.
Swapchat has been around on Windows Phone for quite a while but lacks in some major features like My Story. For the time being, this seems to be the best option for WP users. Before I show you how to get it (because it was removed from the store with the other Snapchat clients), lets quickly cover some problems that may arise. If your account has been banned, you will need to create a new account and re-add friends. Since this is still a third-party app, you remain vulnerable to being banned if you use this.
To get Swapchat on your phone, follow the steps below:
1. Developer Unlock your phone – For more information in doing so, check out Microsoft’s page here.
2. Download Visual Studio (with Windows Phone SDK) – Click here to download Visual Studio. Windows Phone SDK can be downloaded within Visual Studio installation.
3. Download the Swapchat XAP file – Click here to download from OneDrive.
4. Use Application Deployment to deploy Swapchat to your phone – Click here to learn how to deploy.
Another quick warning, this app is not as smooth as 6Snap, which most of us are used to by this point. But again, based on the current Snapchat situation on Windows Phone, this will have to do until hopefully an official Snapchat (?).

For those who don’t mind spending £1.19 for using Snapchat for 1-1 chats its not too bad, but there is always the risk like the other apps this one will also eventually get banned.
Download Specter from the store here;
