On Friday afternoon, several Snapchat users faced an outrage on the app. Having witnessed the error that restricted them from using the app and messaging their followers, netizens rushed to other social media platforms to initially confirm and then react with memes. X (formerly Twitter) flooded with hundreds of posts reporting "Snapchat is down." Many posts were shared in a hilarious format.
People mentioned that they were unable to send or receive messages on the app, making them restricted from communicating through it. Messages failed getting sent despite repeated attempts and led users wonder about the functioning of the platform. On constantly receiving the error that suggested their snaps to have failed and asked to retry sending them, people figured out something was wrong with Snapchat.
What went wrong? While there's statement from Snapchat so far, the tweets are constantly being addressed by the support team on X. As people posted on X saying "My Snapchat isn't working," they replied (purportedly automated) on the platform and asked for a DM to assist better.
