We may have to wait until hell freezes over before we get Snapchat on Windows Phone, but in principle anyone can make an app which works in a similar way.

Unfortunately given Windows Phone’s small market share you may simply end up sending pictures to yourself.

Enter Klaus Moster’s Snapfly – an app that lets you take and send pictures similar to Snapchat, with the same expiration feature, and which works on not just Windows Phone, but which is also available on iOS.

He notes:

Snapfly is your camera app of choice for short-term snapshots. Capture your photos, set a lifespan, share them with your friends and family, and let Snapfly take care of the rest by deleting them automatically from your Windows Phone. Don’t waste your storage with unnecessary photos. Keep your photo albums tidy and organized.

Now I suspect this app will never challenge Snapchat, but if all you want to do is share semi-private pictures with a small group of friends it may just be good enough.

The app is $0.99 with a free trial and can be found in the Windows Phone Store here.
