Snapchat DOWN – Selfie social network not working for THOUSANDS of users

Snapchat is down right now with the popular selfie app not working for thousands of users.

Snapchat fans have reported issues with sending and receiving snaps as well as server issues.

Independent website Down Detector has received thousands of reports that Snapchat is down.

The outage tracker monitors social mentions around certain topics to track outages across the world.

The Snapchat Support Twitter account has posted to say they are looking issues users are experiencing with the app at the moment.

They tweeted: “Some Snapchatters are having trouble with the app. We’re looking into it!”

The Down Detector outage map shows the Snapchat issues affecting users in the UK, Europe and the US.

Snapchat users have taken to Twitter to voice their frustration at the latest outage.

One user tweeted: “you don’t realise how much you take something for granted until it’s gone :/ #SnapchatDown #SnapchatNotWorking”

While another posted: “Of course it’s Snapchat Down on a Monday as if Monday’s are not annoying enough”.

And one wrote: “If you don’t go on Twitter to see if everyone else’s snapchat ain’t working your not normal #SnapchatDown”.

It’s not the first time recently that Snapchat has gone down for thousands of users.

Last month a major Snapchat outage left users unable to send and receive snaps for hours.

At the time the problems meant Snap messages weren’t sending to individual people and snap messages and photos aren’t sending at all in group chats.
