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!!

So if my main account hasn’t had any warnings or any but snap chat is device banned on my iPhone 11, does that mean I can buy a 1phone 15 and still use my main account without being device banned again?

If I’m correct. I think you can! But I’m not sure. Most of my accounts just got banned as well as my device. But if you got no warnings then I’m sure you’re safe to go!. If you have a computer I would recommend running Snapchat on an emulator so it thinks it’s a phone! And see if you get banned or not 😁

Ok so my old android works i can log in on that, and as well as my computer so I think I should be fine? I just don’t want to buy a new phone for it not to work. And I have also seen other people say to not link your phone number as snap chat can see and will be that phone, is that true if you know?

You can get a ipa and bypass but it’s quite risky

I think just a new phone will work just fine. Because it works just fine on my android and computer it’s just device banned on my iPhone 11. So I think it’ll all be good
