About Snapchat problems

Snapchat problems can include snaps that stay on sending, a camera or app that will not load, or a sign-in that fails. Snapchat is mainly a phone app, so first check that the app is up to date and has camera and network permissions. Some school and work networks block Snapchat, so compare Wi-Fi with mobile data.

Typical Snapchat problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Snaps stay on sending Snaps that stay pending may have lost their connection during upload, for example after a switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, so retry on a stable connection. Guide: ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
  • App does not connect on Wi-Fi If Snapchat works on mobile data but not on a certain Wi-Fi, that network is likely filtering it. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Snapchat for Web does not load Snapchat for Web runs in the browser and can break when privacy extensions block its scripts or camera access, so test with extensions paused for snapchat.com. Guide: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
  • General error on every network When Snapchat shows a general error on both Wi-Fi and mobile data, the problem is probably on Snapchat's side, so wait before reinstalling the app. Guide: 503 Service Unavailable
  • Account is locked Snapchat may lock an account after suspicious activity, and Snapchat Support explains that a temporary lock can be lifted at accounts.snapchat.com.

General fixes: Social media

  1. Update the app Old app versions can stop loading feeds after the service changes. Install pending updates from your app store first.
  2. Compare the app and the website Open the service in a browser and in the app. If only one fails, the problem is in that app or browser, not in your account.
  3. Wait out action limits If likes, follows or posts are blocked for a while, stop and wait. Repeating the action can keep the limit in place longer.
  4. Check for network filters School, work and public networks may block social media. Test on mobile data to see whether the network is the cause.
