Snapchat SupportCommon Snapchat Issues During Outages
Stories not loading or posting
Users may see blank story feeds, infinite loading, or failed story uploads when Snapchat's content servers are down.
Chat messages not sending
Snaps and chat messages may fail to send, show pending status indefinitely, or not deliver to recipients during outages.
Filters and lenses not working
AR filters and lenses may fail to load, show errors, or not apply properly when Snapchat's creative platform is degraded.
Memories not syncing or loading
Saved snaps and memories may fail to load, sync, or show 'something went wrong' errors during storage issues.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Snapchat Is Down
- 1
Check your internet connection
Verify WiFi or cellular data is working. Snapchat requires a stable connection for most features.
- 2
Restart the Snapchat app
Force quit and relaunch Snapchat. On iPhone, swipe up and close the app; on Android, use the app switcher.
- 3
Clear Snapchat cache
Go to Settings > Clear Cache in Snapchat. This clears temporary data without deleting memories or friends.
- 4
Test individual features
Try sending a chat, posting a story, using a filter separately. Sometimes only specific features are affected.
- 5
Update Snapchat to the latest version
Outdated apps may have compatibility issues. Check the App Store or Play Store for available updates.

Snapchat Status FAQ
Is Snapchat down right now?
Check status.snap.com and Downdetector for real-time reports. If both show incidents and features aren't working, Snapchat is likely down.
Why aren't my Snapchat stories loading?
This usually indicates a server-side issue. Try refreshing, clearing cache, or waiting a few minutes during outages.
Why won't my snaps send?
Failed snaps often indicate connection issues or server outages. Check your internet and verify Snapchat status before retrying.
Do Snapchat filters work during outages?
Not always. Filter and lens features depend on Snapchat's AR platform, which may be degraded independently from chat or stories.
Why are my memories not loading?
Memories rely on Snapchat's cloud storage. During outages, memories may fail to sync or load while other features work.
