What to do when Snapchat is not working?

When there is an issue with Snapchat servers or certain features aren’t working properly, it’s mostly due to a technical error or the servers are overloaded or undergoing maintenance. This means that there isn't much that users can do when Snapchat is down. So, you will need to just wait for a few hours until Snapchat fixes the issue.
