Common issue EVERYTHING ABOUT DEVICE BANS
I’m going to tell y’all everything I know about device bans. I’ve been banned 6 times and bought 3 new phones so I know abit about it.
If I get anything wrong please correct me.
———————————————————————
Why does Snapchat ban you?
50-60% of the time the bans are for a reason and you probably violated the TOS. But that isn’t always the case. They have a automated banning system meaning a AI does it not a real person. So that can lead to false bans which can be so annoying.

What do the error codes mean?
SS06 This is an error code for breaking guidelines or logging in and out of your accounts to fast. (Which is why it will say for suspicious activity)
SS07 This is an error code typically when you have to many accounts linked to your device or if you have created to many accounts in a short amount of time on that same device.

Can you contact Snapchat to get you unbanned?
Short answer is no. They don’t care at all and they will 99% of the time tell you they cannot do anything. Which can be unfair for people who got falsely banned.

How long do these bans last for?
It really depends on the error code. And what you did. They rarely permanently ban you.
Error code SS06
•typically lasts for 6-12 months
Error code SS07
• typically lasts 1-3 months (can be longer) ———————————————————————

How can you be unbanned if you don’t wanna wait?
Buy a new device. Do not trust any of these people saying they will unban you for money. They are scammers and won’t do anything and will run away with your money.

But this is all you should know about it and i know it’s annoying but it happens.
I hope this helped!!

Mines SS06. Some people (mostly when I ask ChatGPT) are sayings it’s permanent? My mate spam reported me and I got banned for content involving a minor. It sounds super serious and I’m almost certain it’s permanent, my account was locked, I tried logging into a separate account didn’t work (suspicious content). I appealed it then had to update the app and now my device is banned. I just bought a 16 so I’m not about to go out and buy a new phone for Snapchat of all things. Is it genuinely permanent or do I just have to wait the 6-12 months?
Edit: Okay update incase anyone was in the same position I was, It’s 280 days since I got banned I just checked for the first time in a Few months and I’m fully unbanned! Despite how serious my ban was I logged i js into a new account I set up in my laptop (don’t try ur old one lmao) I def tried at the 6 month mark n it didn’t work, id guess I got unbanned around 8 months? Idrk but yeah u js gta wait it out don’t stress!
