Snaps may not be sending for several common reasons. The most frequent cause is a weak or unstable internet connection, so ensuring you have strong Wi-Fi or cellular data signal is the first step. Another major issue can be an outdated Snapchat app version; updating the app often resolves sending problems. Additionally, app glitches can be fixed by force closing and restarting Snapchat or by restarting your device. Clearing Snapchat’s cache is also a useful method to remove corrupted temporary data that might hinder sending. Checking that Snapchat has permission to access your camera and storage is important since lack of these permissions can prevent snaps from being sent. Finally, logging out and logging back into Snapchat can help sync your account and fix the issue. In summary, to fix snaps not sending:
- Check and strengthen your internet connection.
- Update Snapchat to the latest version.
- Force close and restart Snapchat.
- Restart your phone.
- Clear Snapchat cache via app settings.
- Ensure camera and storage permissions are enabled.
- Log out and log back into Snapchat.
If after trying these you still face issues, it might be a server-side problem with Snapchat's service, which you can verify on outage checkers like Downdetector. If everything seems fine on their end, contacting Snapchat support is recommended for further help.
