Snapchat 'files for stock market float'

Snap, the parent company of messaging app Snapchat, has filed to list on the US stock market, according to several reports.



Based on investments so far, the California-based firm would be worth between $20bn and $25bn (£16bn-£20bn).



That would make it the largest US flotation since Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba listed two years ago.



Snapchat's parent company Snap declined to comment on the reports to the BBC.



Young audience



The company began in 2012 as a mobile app that allowed users to send photos that vanish within seconds.



It now has 100 million daily users, which is more than Twitter.
