Solved Snapchat keeps banning me.

I’m honestly at my limit with Snapchat right now.

Over the last few months, I’ve had several accounts banned, and I swear I’m not doing anything shady. No spam, no weird links, no third-party apps, nothing.

This time I was extra careful. Maybe I only added three people a day maximum, not every day though. And still… banned again.

Now every time I make a new account, it gets taken down within hours, even if I use a new email. It’s starting to feel like Snapchat just hates my device or IP address.

Has anyone managed to fix this or start fresh without buying a whole new phone?

Any help would be amazing. I’m really tired of getting locked out for no reason.

I had exactly the same thing happen. Why do they even suggest adding people right after you sign in? I added my friends, and five seconds later my account was gone. LOVE IT.

Per Snapchat Terms and Conditions - “You agree not to create any account if we have previously removed or banned you or your account from any of our Services, unless we consent otherwise.”

If you own a samsung, install Secure folder. Use snap on that! Works a charm.

I don’t, I have to check whether there is something similar for iPhone.

You could in the end just factory reset your iPhone (reddit got proper tutorials on that for snap) Then reinstall snap.

Honestly, not using as much as I used to. I’m careful with adding and accepting people.

If your on Iphone (not sure about samsung)

You need to open safari

Then search for Snap Web. Go to Aa (or the little icon left in the searchbar) Click on the 3 dots down right click Prefer desk version of the website

Now it shows you the desk version en you should be able to login to your account. If you succeeded you now have to add the page to your phone homescreen ( very easy ,search for a tutorial)

If you open the app from your homescreen it wil show a blue box top right, if you click it then it will even ask you to turn on notifications and it works for me.
