Snapchat Down: Service Outage or Connection Problems?
Is Snapchat Down Right Now? Here’s How to Deal with It!
Over 190 million people use Snapchat every day to talk to friends. Imagine their reaction when Snapchat seems down. Maybe you just had the best opportunity to upload your story from the best party of the year and Snapchat is down! We realize you didn’t plan on topping the longest Snapchat streak of 1457 snaps but who knows maybe you were meant to be the next one with that trophy?!
If you’re experiencing issues with Snapchat service down or not working in general, make sure you have the latest version of the app installed on your iPhone or Android smartphone. But it can go deeper than just that – your Internet connection could be the real culprit. Read below to see a quick and easy fix to prevent Snapchat from disconnecting by getting fast and stable Internet!
Why is Snapchat Down?
The Snapchat app requires a good amount of Internet bandwidth to work properly. When determining why your Snapchat is down or not working, you should look at your Internet connection. It might be that your Internet is too slow and doesn’t have enough bandwidth. Or that the connection is flaky and experiencing excessive packet loss. What’s worse is that both of these issues are often amplified when you are on the move. This happens as mobile devices can not easily transition between different Wi-Fi networks or cell towers without interrupting the connection, thus, the functionality of the apps. Make sure you try these:
- See if Snapchat tweeted anything about their service status recently
- Restart the device
- Clear the cache of the Snapchat app
- Reinstall the app
Regardless of the cause, mobile devices are designed to only use one Internet connection at a time, despite the fact that they are often connected to both WiFi and cellular data. So, why not use BOTH connections for their combined speed and reliability?
Fix the Annoying Snapchat Down Issue with Speedify
Speedify is a fast bonding VPN service that changes the way your mobile device connects to the Internet. Instead of just using one connection, Speedify allows your mobile device to connect to the Internet over both Wi-Fi and mobile data simultaneously. This instantly increases your connection bandwidth and reliability and provides a better and uninterrupted Snapchat experience so you won’t experience issues with Snapchat being down.
Speedify also monitors the quality of your Internet connections. When it detects that a signal is weak or that the network is too slow, it will automatically and seamlessly reroute the data through the other working connection. Best of all, when the other connection is back online and reliable, it begins using it again – automatically and in the background. Say goodbye to Snapchat down or not working.
Secure Your Snapchat Stories with Speedify
In addition to delivering a faster Internet experience to your mobile device, Speedify encrypts all the data sent to and from your device. Speedify keeps you safe from compromised Wi-Fi networks, snooping ISPs, and other threats. It is also smart enough to try and send as much data as possible through Wi-Fi instead of over more expensive mobile data connections – saving you from potential overage fees from your carrier!
