Snapchat is officially rolling out native support for iPad, the company announced in the app's latest release notes. Since Snapchat's launch in 2011, the social networking app has only been available on iPads as an iPhone app with large black borders around it, not as a native app for the iPad's bigger screen.
Snapchat在應用的最新發布說明中宣佈，正式推出對iPad的原生支持。自從Snapchat於2011年推出以來，這個社交應用程序只能作爲iPhone應用在iPad上使用，周圍還有大黑邊，而不是作爲iPad上的原生應用程序。
With this new update, support for iPad is rolling out 13 years after Snapchat launched on iOS.
在Snapchat於iOS推出13年後，通過這次新的更新，對iPad的支持也正式推出。
"Snapchat now offers native support for iPad," the App Store release notes simply state. "This means that Snapchat will fill an iPad's full screen, providing you with a larger canvas when capturing Snaps and allowing you to see more friends on the 2nd and 4th tabs."
"Snapchat現在提供對iPad的原生支持，"App Store的發佈說明中簡單地寫道。"這意味着在捕捉Snaps時，Snapchat將填充整個iPad屏幕，爲您提供更大的畫布，並允許您在第2和第4個標籤中看到更多的好友。"
The new app increases accessibility on iPads, while also serving as a bit of testing ground for new features, as you can play around with tools, AR experiences and AI on a bigger screen. It's unclear why Snap has waited until now to bring its app to iPad, nor has the company disclosed if it will offer any new experiences for iPad users.
這款新應用在iPad上提高了可訪問性，同時也作爲新功能的一部分測試平台，因爲您可以在更大的屏幕上玩耍並使用工具，AR體驗和人工智能。目前尚不清楚Snap爲何要等到現在才將其應用帶到iPad上，也沒有透露公司是否會爲iPad用戶提供任何新體驗。
Unfortunately, the new app still isn't fully optimized for tablets as it can only run in portrait mode, not landscape mode.
不幸的是，這款新應用程序仍未針對平板電腦進行充分優化，因爲它只能在豎排模式下運行，而不能在橫排模式下運行。
The launch of the native app comes as TikTok released an update last year that was designed to take advantage of larger screens like iPads and tablets. The update started allowing people to use the app in landscape mode and navigate the app more easily. By releasing native support for iPads, Snapchat is better poised to compete with TikTok, and possibly get more eyes on its TikTok competitor, Spotlight.
原生應用的推出正值TikTok去年發佈了一次更新，該更新旨在充分利用iPad和平板電腦等更大的屏幕。這次更新開始允許人們在橫向模式下使用該應用，並更輕鬆地瀏覽應用。通過爲iPad提供原生支持，Snapchat更有競爭力，並有可能引起更多人對其與TikTok競爭的功能Spotlight的關注。
It's also worth noting that another Instagram has yet to launch a native iPad app, which gives both Snapchat and TikTok a bit of a competitive edge over the Meta-owned platform.
同樣值得注意的是，Instagram尚未推出原生的iPad應用程序，這使得Snapchat和TikTok對Meta擁有的平台具有一定的競爭優勢。
