Snapchat, the popular messaging service, went down last night, with users reporting being unable to open the app on multiple platforms.
The problem continued into the early hours of the morning, with thousands of reports coming in regarding problems with logging in.
Users posted on Twitter to complain about the problems, some saying that the Snapchat app won't even open. Others reported that they can reach the normal features but the app crashes.
One posted: "I thought it was only me. So I uninstalled Snapchat, and when I wanted to re-enter my login details, it says, "uh, oh. Something went wrong; try again later."
It's unclear what has caused the loss of service, but over 40,000 reports have been posted on the Downdetector site, making it one of the largest server issues of 2021 so far.
Snapchat has given no estimate of when its service will return to normal.
Its support team on Twitter shared a message confirming they are aware of theissues, telling users: "We're aware of an issue preventing some Snapchatters from logging in. Hang tight, we are looking into it and working on a fix!"
