How To Fix Snapchat Not Working Issue?

For most of Android and IOS smartphones, you just need to press and hold the power button for a few seconds to get the restart option on the screen.
If you are unable to see the restart option by pressing and holding the power button. Then I will suggest you to check the restart guide for your phone in Google.
Method 3: Check if Snapchat is down
- Simply go to Downdetector.
- Search for Snapchat.
- Downdetector will show you if there is any server-related issue going with Snapchat.
Method 4: Check your internet connection
Snapchat requires an active internet connection to perform tasks. So check, if your internet connection working fine. Simply try to open any other app. If other apps are also not working then the issue is with your internet connection.
Method 5: Switch Between Wifi And Cellular Data
If your internet connection is working fine but still you are getting the issue with Snapchat then I will suggest you to switch between wifi and cellular data. Doing this may fix some temporary network issues.
Method 6: Check your Snapchat permissions
For Android
