Solution 4: Check Your Network Connection 

Snapchat requires an active internet connection to function correctly. Sometimes slow or bad internet connection can create this issue, so make sure your network speed is good and switch mobile data to a wi-fi connection and vice versa.

Try troubleshooting your network connection to see if that resolves your issue.

Solution 5: Switch to mobile data (If on Wi-Fi)

If you are using Snapchat on a Wi-Fi connection, it does not work correctly. Try switching over to your mobile data. When you switch to mobile data, turn off your Wi-Fi connection so that your phone does not auto-connect back to it.

To switch to mobile data on an Android:

  1. Go to your phone’s Settings
  2. Tap on SIM cards & mobile networks

Solution 6: Switch to Wi-Fi (If on mobile data)

As the above solution, If you are using Snapchat on a mobile data connection, it does not work correctly. Try switching over to your stable Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi connection has no limit, therefore is more stable than mobile data.


To switch to a Wi-Fi connection

  1. Go to your phone’s Settings
  2. Tap on Wi-Fi

Solution 7: Turn off VPN 

Some Snapchatters use a VPN to connect to the Snapchat app because Snapchat is banned in their countries. OR you have a VPN on your phone for other purposes.

Snapchat may think you are one of those prohibited from using the app, thereby preventing you from logging in.

Try closing your VPN service before logging back into Snapchat.
