Snapchat Support confirmed the problems, writing on Twitter, “We’re aware that some Snapchatters are having issues using the app right now – hang tight, we’re looking into it!”

Some people were relieved to realize Snapchat was down, and their messages weren’t simply being ignored. Many people can relate to that, right? Another Twitter user had the same thought, writing, “Thank god it’s just snapchat that’s down, I thought she didn’t like me #snapchatdown.”
