Snapchat has pulled the plug on Snap Games, with the feature no longer available on Android, iPhone, or the web. Snapchat introduced Snap Games in 2019, and by 2021, over 200 million people had played the interactive video games within the Snapchat app. In July 2022, Snapchat released the Ghost Phone game with an elaborate storyline and extensive use of augmented reality.
