Many have taken to Twitter to vent their frustrations – with the app’s map function not working.

Complaints began to flood in on Down Detector just after 8pm.

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

Some users are also experiencing problems logging in.

And others have said they can not see friends on SnapMaps – and that they have lost their hard-earned streaks with friends.

One user wrote on Twitter: “Didn’t realise how much I used snap maps until I couldn’t #snapchatdown.”

Another said: “I am getting error that my account is temp locked and I am not able to unlock it.”

A third added: “All my streaks disappeared and account logged out..”

The Sun has approached Snapchat for comment.
