What happened to Snapchat?

The Snapchat team acknowledged that there was a problem with the servers at 11:51 pm that the app was down for many users across the nation.

While the app is working for some, other are having difficulty accessing core features such as loading and sending pictures.

Some users are also experiencing problems logging in.

“We’re aware of an issue preventing some Snapchatters from logging in,” the company following reports.

“Hang tight, we are looking into it and working on a fix!” they added.

In the latest update, at 5:01 am, the company confirmed that the “the issue has been resolved.”

The technical issue comes after the app had a bug back in June that caused the app to crash when opened.

How to fix Snapchat

Part of the problem is that users are still reporting issues even after Snapchat has claimed a “fix”.

That’s because you’ll need to manually update the app to get it to work again.

If you’re an iPhone user, that means going into the App Store and downloading the latest update.

And it’s the same story for Android users, but via the Google Play Store.

Once you’ve updated, make sure to quit and restart the app.

And if it still doesn’t work, try restarting your phone and going from there.

Another option is to totally uninstall and reinstall Snapchat on your device.

However, we recommend simply updating your app first to see if that works.
