The latest beta version of Snapchat has a new feature category called "Connected Apps" whose description read: "These apps are connected to your Snapchat . Choose an app to control what it has access to."

"This section could very well soon show what third-party apps s have connected directly to their Snapchat . Snap currently allows this with Bitmoji, an app for creating cartoon versions of yourself which Snapchat bought in 2016," Mashable reported late Wednesday.

"This update could help Snapchat become its own app ecosystem, not unlike Twitter. All three of those companies allow for log-in on other third-party networks," the report added.

Amid speculations about how much data Snap would let third parties access, a Snap spokesperson told Engadget that the company doesn't share -identifiable information with rs.

This comes at a time when Facebook s are uninstalling apps they got connected with long ago via "Facebook log-in" after the social media platform was hit by a major data scandal.

"Snap doesn't offer a service similar to Facebook's Graph API or share friend network information with third parties, which is what enabled the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Those policies, and the company's approach to privacy, won't change," the spokesperson was quoted as saying by Engadget.
