On July 2, 2025, Snapchat officially announced that its Indian community has crossed 250 million monthly active users (MAU), marking a significant milestone. In May 2023, the company reported around 200 million MAUs in India, and this new figure now makes India the platform’s leading global growth market.
In the official post, the company revealed that 90% of its daily users are aged 13-34. India is Snap’s second-largest AR developer market globally. Lens usage in India exceeds 80 billion plays per month, with nearly 80% of Indian Snapchatters interacting with Lenses daily, while over 85% of Indian Snapchatters use Lenses during festivals, adding to the celebration.
The company expressed gratitude for its Indian users and mentioned that this growth highlights Snapchat’s strong connection with young users across the country. It was also revealed that Snap’s vision in India is to build a sustainable business by growing and nurturing its community, building trust with advertisers by delivering business value, supporting vibrant storytelling with Spotlight and Stories, and fostering a thriving AR developer ecosystem.
Snapchat has become increasingly popular among users, where they try out new filters and share stories, and the craze for maintaining streaks has also rapidly grown among users, with some users even willing to pay to re-do their snap streaks.
