Your snaps may not be sending for several common reasons:
- Internet connection issues : Weak or unstable Wi-Fi or cellular data is often the main culprit. Switching to a stronger network or better location can help.
- App version outdated : Using an outdated Snapchat app can cause problems, so ensure your app is updated to the latest version from the App Store or Google Play Store.
- Server problems : Sometimes Snapchat itself may be down or experiencing outages; checking websites like Downdetector can confirm this.
- Camera permission : Snapchat needs permission to access your camera; check your device settings to make sure camera access is enabled for the app.
- App glitches : Restarting the Snapchat app or your whole device can resolve temporary issues.
- Clear Cache : Clearing Snapchat’s cache in the app settings can fix glitches related to saving and sending snaps.
- Friendship status : If the recipient has unfriended or blocked you on Snapchat, your snaps won't send to them.
- Logging out and back in : This can help reload your account data and fix sending issues.
Start by checking your internet connection and updating the app. Then verify permissions and try restarting the app or device. Clearing the app cache and confirming the recipient's friendship status also helps. If Snapchat servers are down, you will need to wait for a fix on their end. These steps generally resolve snaps not sending on both Android and iPhone devices.
If these solutions do not work, contacting Snapchat support via the app may be necessary.
