Incident history
About Snapchat
Snapchat is a messaging and camera app popular with younger users. Its core functions, sending snaps, Stories and chat, run as separate services and often fail independently of one another.
Common Snapchat problems
- Snaps stuck on "Sending" with a red arrow that never clears.
- Chat working while snaps fail, or the reverse.
- Stories not loading or Spotlight failing to refresh.
- Login failures, sometimes accompanied by an incorrect "account locked" message.
- Streaks appearing to break during an outage, which Snapchat usually restores afterwards.
Where to check officially
- Snapchat announces incidents through its official support account on X and in-app messaging.
- No public status page or machine-readable feed is published.
- Our tracking is based on news coverage and user reports.
What to do when Snapchat is down
- Do not clear the app cache or reinstall during an outage, this can lose unsent snaps and requires re-login.
- Take a screenshot of a broken streak with a timestamp; Snapchat restores streaks lost to confirmed outages on request.
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data once to rule out a local issue.
- Wait it out. Snapchat outages are typically short and resolve without user action.
