Snapchat users complain about issues on Twitter

Users switched to another social media platform, Twitter, to complain about the issues.

One wrote: “Is snapchat down or have I actually been logged out my account forever”

Another wrote: “is snapchat down for anyone else?”

A third tweeted: “@Snapchat is your app down? Won’t let me login”

'Snapchat something went wrong' - what does it mean?

The “something went wrong” error on Snapchat is said to appear when the platform’s servers aren’t working correctly.

Make sure the servers are running before you attempt to solve the problem.
