Snapchat Down: Is the App Not Working?

Some people were reporting that Snapchat was down on Christmas Day 2016.

Snapchat support confirmed around 10:45 p.m. CST on December 25: “Some Snapchatters are having trouble with the app. We’re working on a fix!”

The app did not provide a reason for the problems.

The fact Snapchat was not working for some people on Christmas Day robbed them of their ability to snap Christmas gifts and holiday festivities, and sent angry Snapchatters to Twitter to complain.
