Need help with Synaptic

Some days ago, I stated my problems with software store here and a lot of ppl suggested me to use synaptic so i downloaded it and found it quite useful. But the problem here is I couldn't search some famous apps like spotify and discord there. Are snaps and flatpaks not available in synaptic?

Nope.
Synaptic is essentially an apt manager.
By definition, it cannot have other application managers such as Flatpak and SNAP.

P.S.
I fixed the title for clarification.
Synaptic is not a download manager.

Thankfully not.

Synaptic sticks to trusted and secure package management.

Or follow the instruction in this page to add PPA:

You will first need to configure our debian repository:

curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_5E3C45D7B312C643.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

Then you can install the Spotify client:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client
