Facebook Releases Flash, an App That Shamelessly Copies Snapchat


Facebook has released a new app that could as well be called a complete Snapchat clone. The new app called Flash was released yesterday, but for some reasons, it’s only available in Brazil for now. It appears Facebook aims to directly compete with Snapchat with this app since it wasn’t able to acquirethe company and now, Facebook is out to copy and kill Snapchat.

The new app does exactly what Snapchat does with lenses and the interface looks like a direct copy.

How to get Flash by Facebook outside Brazil

As mentioned earlier, Flash is only available in Brazil for now, but the APK file is now all over the internet. To install, you can grab it from APK Mirror and install. To be able to install it successfully, just remember to enable installation from “unknown sources” from your device settings.

If you’ve been using Snapchat, you should have no problem using this Snapchat clone. It prompts you to login with Facebook when you start it and the user interface is self explanatory. To the right is “Your Story,” a chat screen on the left and the camera button in the middle.

It comes with several “masks” you can apply to your selfies and a lot of them are quite comical.

For now, it’s unclear when Facebook plans to launch this app globally but Facebook is sending a clear message: It is out to destroy Snapchat since an acquisition didn’t work out.
