I am facing trouble integrating Appslyer into my Snapchat ads account. I reached out to the Appsflyer support team and everything has been working correctly. I then reached out to your support team where they sent me instructions that I had already followed and so everything was integrated correctly on my end.

I was then told that I had been directed to the right support team and I would hear back soon. That was last on March 4th. I have followed up several times and received radio silence. I am a loyal customer and we spend money on your platform regularly so appalled to be facing this kind of customer service. _5008b1xKgvT:ref ]

I'm a user of Snapchat for 7 years, I've had the same account for that period. I woke up this morning to being logged out of my account. I tried to sign in and was logged out immediately. It said permanently locked.

I haven't done anything and I'm not sure what has gone on. But every time I tried to contact Snapchat about it via Twitter,support form, email etc I get the same answer. My email flags up as a permantley locked account so they keep responding with " we can't do anything if your account is locked" but this is not fair as my account was most likely compromised. I'm disgusted

They banned my account after 6 years of owning it without an explanation, I’ve tried getting in contact more than once with Snapchat and haven’t received any response I’m at least trying get my memories downloaded and my friends contact info but not even allowed to do that, I’ve never once been flagged for anything and is most likely my first time

I contacted Snapchat via e-mail regarding the change of my phone number, due to the fact that my old device was stolen, and I wanted to log in on a new device. While logging in, I was asked for a 2FA code, which is normal since I did set up 2FA, but 2FA was enabled for the old phone number which I no longer have, and needed to change it.

Snapchat informed me that I can enter the recovery code, that was locally saved on the old device and there is no way to recover it.

Instead of helping me change my phone number for my account, they asked me to create a new account, with my new number and a different e-mail, since the one that I used for my Snapchat account cannot be used a second time, obviously.

I provided my username, my e-mail, I am even ready to provide my ID to prove to them that…

Have emailed them over five times now. They have not give me no information at all as to why my accounts have been locked. They ignored everything I have asked in the emails, they won’t even message back now: I got one account un locked for literally about 40 seconds then was blocked again.

They have not give me any reason to as why and have not even even messaged me back for ages now. Awful customer service! Can somebody please help me so I can actually get hold of them by phone or something, cheers

They are an absolute joke. I’ve had both of my accounts locked for no reason. Well they can’t tell me a reason why they have locked them at all. They say the same shitty message in the email and no one has give me any information.

I was able to unlock one of my accounts following their procedure. It was locked again within a minute. I didn’t even go on it. They don’t have a number to contact and really don’t listen to a word you say.

I would really like to make a complaint and have a phone number to contact them. Absolutely fuming as I have a lot of pictures and memories of mine that I can not now get back.

I am utterly disgusted with the way my issue has been handled. I have constantly told Snapchat that someone has access to one of my accounts which I do not have access to and I am being told they are not able to help me as the two factor authentication is on and

if i don’t have access to the recovery code I am unable to access my account. I am NOT wanting access to my account. I was them to stop the third person who has access to my account but they don’t seem to understand and just repeat the same thing to me.

So my privacy and security is breached and compromised but they cannot help? Does that make any sense ?

I’m having trouble trying to get rid of an old phone number and verify a new phone number on the account. I get a message saying “due to suspicion activity we cannot verify your phone number”. This is odd to me because I just got the phone and the new number a day ago.

When I contact Snapchat about it they ask for some basic info and I give it to them. They then proceed to tell me verbatim the same message about suspicious activity and since then I’ve not been able to get in contact with them.

Instagram is way better they let me change my phone number in seconds. I still don’t understand how my number could be suspicious if it never existed until yesterday but ok.

My daughter has a SnapChat account and the username is tabbycoburn She went to log in this morning only to discover that her account had been permanently deleted. Through contacting friends she was told that there was all this illegal material and comments posted on there. She realised straightaway that she had been hacked but now SnapChat won't let her back into her own account, open a new account or even use her usual device and THEN they send emails saying "We can't help you any further"!!

My son had his Snapchat account suddenly and without warning delated today. He contacted their online system to be told he had breached their terms of use, but with no details as to what he had done. He refutes that he has posted anything that would be against their T&C's.

It is virtually impossible to contact Snapchat or to get information from them. He is now prevented from creating a new account. He has recently started at university moving to a new town away from all of his friends and Snapchat was his main form of social media and was helping him through this initial period of insecurity.

The first few weeks of university are confusing and difficult for most students, and he has expressed how he is now feeling lonely and isolated without Snapchat. He has successfully used the…

Like a couple hours ago, I was logged out of my Snapchat account and now it says it’s temporarily locked. So I’m just thinking it’s because I forgot to update my email address there. But simply can’t you just open the god damm account and let me back in.

I keep trying and nothing has worked. I filed a form for Snapchat and still nothing. I want to know if I can unlock it and not have it permanently locked, or from there it’s on you guys that I lose everything

If I could give snapchat zero stars I would. I recent had my account hacked and reached out to snapchat in order to restore it. The emails I received were very obviously automated. I sent all the information that was requested such as a picture of my driver license and recent phone bill to prove that the number belonged to me.

Both these images were pdfs(the phone bill was the exact pdf that was sent to me from verizon). Snapchat then claimed the images were to blurry to verify. When I replied asked what image was blurry in the hope that I could fix it I was ignored repeatably.

This interaction has proven to me that snapchat is simply too lazy to deal with their customers problems.

I am not sure if this organisation/company is aware that bullies is Using the snapchat website to bully children.

I understand. My granddaughter and her best friend has apparently had a 100 videos posted showing beating and threats on snapchat. They are now been targeted, and 4 London schools is at their wits end in trying to prevent these attacks.

People are organising beatings, by calling up to 15-20 people to meet at a point and video or joining a beating. My granddaughter and her best friend has been battered and videoed during these fights. These video are being circulated via snapchat and others ware apparently encouraged to join in. I am begging snapchat to investigate and delete these videos.

I am sending the video to the BBC to show how these beating are arranged and am hoping…

This company is horrible. A friend had her account hacked pictures leaked and the hacker changed the email and phone number and they won't help her. This is the worst company. Huge company, huge monetary profits, huge publicity, poor customer service, poor care for security, and poor ethical company.

They use an automated system to "help" their users with hacked accounts and don't even realize that a hacker will change the very thing needed to retrieve an account back if you forget a password? This is pathetic if someone hacks your account and changes your email and phone number don't expect snapchat to help.

This is the most pathetic company ever.

I have filled a request to download my data and have been left waiting 5 days currently for a task that supposedly takes 24 - 48 hours. I filled this request before many friends who received their data after only 2 days.

I have attempted multiple times to get in touch and recieved absolutely no reply their website is terrible and does not leave an open ended support section but only gives you a limited amount of choices to chose from. Absolutely terrible the lack of customer service.

Hello, I wish to complain about the recent snapchat filter where you can upload your face/picture and put it in the middle of a headstone. You can also state how you think you died. As a parent who saw this on her daughters phone thought this was totally unacceptable to view and wish this filter is removed.

Why are snapchat encouraging these inappropriate images when social media is so powerful.

2 of my Snapchat accounts have been locked now due to apparent third party apps I have tried everything in the little support section you have to stop this from happening and i find it rediculous. The only possible reason I can think of that my account would be locked is because I have a rooted android phone but in saying that it was rooted for over a month before my account was ever locked .

1. I feel this is unacceptable as I have no need to exploit Snapchat services 2. The services available to assist with this is next to none 3.i can't use Snapchat at all which is very frustrating as most of my friends use it and I have alot of memories saved to my account that I can not access .

I was locked out of Snapchat two weeks ago, I have never went against the snapchat rules ever, I got in contact with them regarding this as I was trying to be back on for my birthday. They told me to change my password which I did and still no luck, I made a new Snapchat on my birthday so I can say thank you to my friends and family it locked me out of that aswell, which didn’t make sense as I just made it.

I have sent numerous of emails filled out the form for two weeks now and still no reply from them and that is very unacceptable especially when I don’t even know why I’ve been locked out. I’ve been trying to log back in it will show the camera and come out straight away then I’ll get an email that someone has logged in when I haven’t because when I try log in again it says I have been…

I’m so sick of seeing these liberal and left wing “news” stories on Snapchat. I’ve tried to block them and it won’t let me. I’ve tried to hide them and they just pop back up. What the hell am I supposed to do about this.

It needs to be fixed. I don’t want to see anything from Jeffery star’s stupid story and I sure don’t want to see any “news” that “NowThis” or “Vice” “Occupy Democrats” or any of these stupid celebrities. It’s not snapchats job to recommend things for me to watch or subscribe to.

If I want to block a subscription from appearing on my page I should be able to! They can block conservative pages with no issues but I try to block and report a left wing or liberal idiot and it just re appears.

i kinda want my snap back soo... can you give my friend and I our snap back.... here they are Jf8793 and Wdorsey1102, and the only reason his snap locked was because I was keeping his streaks and my device locked his snap so please give our snaps back please and thank you, have a nice day!

I would rate this app 5 stars if we were able to change our username. This issue is unbelievably annoying since I previously picked a username that I now regret. Almost every other social media app has this feature available.

There are many people that don't even use the app anymore because of this flaw. It is simply too much work for the user to make another account since they have to gain back all their followers and will lose their history.

I created an account and verified my email, I can login to the account via chrome but I am unable to login with the exact same details in the app, when I try to login i am taken back to account registration where it will not accept a verified account so there is NO WAY to login to the app with a verified account and no way to contact Snapchat to solve the problem.

So I have a verified account that will not work with the app as it just tried to register my verified account every time I try to login via the app, why does it not recognize a verified account that works on the account via chrome It seems this was created to be frustrating and make people angry

I see there was an issue with heart/bff emojis back in 2015. I've read that it has been corrected. Is there by chance still an issue? I'm having some crazy things happening with my Snapchat heart emoji between a best friend and I.

I'm hopeful it is still a glitch of some kind as it has caused controversy between us.

Snapchat has been very sucky lately. Whenever I go to watch someones story I either have to watch the whole thing all over again or it glitch out and say that the connection failed. I do not appreciate this at all.

I think you should get your shit together and fix snapchat right now. From the bottom of my heart I wanted to say I love snapchat and hope you fix it soon before I cry about it.
