For some time now, you might have encountered some serious technical issues while using Snapchat on your iPhone. As you are well aware of the fact that there are continuous updates to the operating system of iPhones, aren’t these updates supposed to fix bugs?

This used to be a rare problem among iPhone users, but now it happens more frequently. There are more than one reason why your Snapchat is not working properly, but luckily, there is always a solution for them. Snapchat is one of the most used social media apps and one must not forget how much of our data is stored on that single app. That is why I have found the best solutions to fix Snapchat if it is not working on your iPhone.

Troubleshooting Snapchat not working on iPhone

Here are some solutions that you can use when you are facing any problem while using Snapchat on your iPhone. These issues mostly occur after an update, so these solutions deal with iOS crashes, bugs, misconfigurations, network issues, and other bugs.

Sometimes apps are left open while the phone is updating, so after the update, the app has issues. So in this case, restart Snapchat and it will work.

This is how you can do it and kill other background apps:

1. Go to the home screen.
2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle.
3. You will see all previously used apps.
4. Locate Snapchat from there.
5. And swipe up to clear apps.
6. Do the same to clear the other background apps.

Try restarting your iPhone. This is because rebooting or restarting the phone sometimes helps an app clear any glitches or glitches. Also, a restart gives the phone and apps a clear start.

This is how you can do it:

1. Hold down the power button together with the volume button.
2. At the top of the screen, you will see the “slide to power off” option.

3. Slide it to the right and your phone will turn off.
4. Once the phone is turned off, restart it and launch the app.

Wait a few minutes for your iPhone to finish rebooting and then reconnect Wi-Fi to launch the app and see if it works.

Applications running on an older version are more likely to be affected and crash too often. This is because the app can no longer meet the system requirements and is facing issues. In this case, check if an update is available for the application. Most of the time, an app updates come with bug fixes and can resolve the issues you are facing.

Follow these steps to update your Snapchat:

1. On the home screen, visit the App Store.
2. Click on the Updates option, a list of apps with pending updates will appear on your screen.
3. Click refresh next to Snapchat.
4. If multiple app updates are available, click ‘Update All’ and all apps will be updated to the latest version.

There are chances that the app has become corrupted thus it is not working properly anymore. To remove this error, uninstall the app and reinstall it. This will clear any cache or unwanted data from the app.

To delete the app, just long press on the app icon and you will see the option to delete/uninstall it.

Once you have installed it again, log into Snapchat again and see if it works.

There is a privacy feature on the iPhone and in the feature comes a “Privacy and Content Restriction” option. When this feature is enabled, it restricts some apps from running on your iPhone. That’s why to make sure this feature doesn’t interfere with the proper functioning of your apps, it’s important to turn it off.

This is how you can do it:

1. Go to settings.
2. Click Screen Time.

3. Scroll down and you will see Content and Privacy Restrictions.

4. Click the switch to turn it off.

It is up to you whether you want to keep the restrictions, but make sure that Snapchat or any other app is not affected by them.

Snapchat is an online app and therefore requires a good internet connection. This could be a possibility that your app is failing due to network issues. If this happens, try turning Wi-Fi off and then turning airplane mode on and off.

Here is how to do it:

1. Go to settings.
2. Click on airplane mode.
3. Click the switch to turn it on.
4. Wait a few minutes and turn off airplane mode.

Now try launching Snapchat and see if it works.

Sometimes your phone settings may prevent the app from adapting to the update. And therefore, if an app is not fully up to date, it will not work properly. In this case, it is recommended to reset all settings and set them again.

Follow these steps to do so:

1. Go to settings.
2. Touch Overall.

3. There, you will see Transfer or Reset iPhone.

4. Tap the Reset option.

5. You will be prompted to enter your phone password, fill in the password, and you’re done.

Note: Resetting your iPhone does not mean that any of your data or information will be erased, all the data on your phone will remain intact, only the settings will be changed to default.

These were the solutions that you can apply when the Snapchat app stops working on your iPhone. If none of this works, it is recommended to contact the Snapchat support team. The application’s technical team will directly analyze your problem and provide you with the appropriate solution.
