Whether it be third party clients (like we used to have Infinity and Apollo and what not for reddit) or separate services, like ddg or firefox for web, kbin or lemmy instead of reddit.

right now looking for snapchat alternatives, preferably a different client if at all possible.

thanks guys :)

There is nothing for snapchat.

Do not forget https://www.privacyguides.org/ . You are in the "Privacy Guides" community after all and this link is in the side bar. This is a general answer. Maybe does not list anything for your specific client question though.

Another one I like is https://alternativeto.net/. Not specifically privacy, but gets an alternative list for almost anything, and there are various search filters too.
