Snapchat should be working again for people after widespread reports of it going down this evening.
The tech company said the issue had been resolved, as hundreds of people took to Twitter to complain they were unable to access the app’s features.
Snapchat Support said: ‘We’re aware Snapchatters are having trouble sending Chats and Snaps.
‘We are looking into it and working on a fix.’
They later said the app was fixed, but if people were still having trouble they should get in touch.
DownDetector, which monitors websites for any outages, said it had received thousands of reports.

Most of the problems were with sending snaps, with around 8% reporting issues receiving snaps or refreshing.
Most of the reports were centred in western Europe and the US.
Many users took to Twitter to complain they were unable to use the app.
Oh my god that makes so much sense. I came to Twitter to see if anyone else’s Snapchat was fucking up. And sure enough, what do I see trending? #snapchatdown
