People can access the app but can’t send Snaps

The topic is currently trending on Twitter, suggesting the problem may be quite widespread.

Anyone trying to send a Snap is apparently met with a red ‘failed to send’ error message.

This includes everything from basic chat messages, to photos and Stories.

Down Detector noticed a spike in reports from users on Friday, from around 6.30am BST.

Some users thought it could be a problem with their device before they checked Twitter.

“Does anyone have a problem where u cant send anything?” one confused person said.

Another commented: “So my Snapchat will load stories but won’t sent snaps, totally makes sense.”

Others were annoyed that they would lose their Snapstreak.

The streak is when users send a Snap – not a chat – back and forth to another person within a 24 hour window.

“Thanks to snaps not sending this morning (which still aren’t) I lost my streaks with my friend can you fix this pls?” one annoyed fan said.
