Snapchat is down: Photo app crashes for users across the UK and Europe

It's one of the most popular messaging apps around, but it seems that Snapchat has crashed this morning.

According to Down Detector, the issues started at 10:27 GMT, and are affecting users in the UK and Europe.

While the reason for the outage remains unclear, of those who reported issues, 54% had problems receiving snaps or refreshing, 37% couldn’t send snaps, and 7% couldn’t take photos or videos.

Snapchat is yet to comment on the outage.

Many frustrated users have taken to Twitter to vent their annoyances at the outage.

One user said: "Is Snapchat down? Its acting a lil weird and maybe that’s why my friene/crush/ex/girlfriend isn’t speaking to me (is complicated) or maybe regardless of Snapchat being down she just doesn’t want to open or reply to my messages."

Another added: "Of course Snapchat wants to go down right when I log out. Nice."

And one simply joked: "Snapchat is down, we all dead."

This isn't the first time in recent months that the photo app has suffered an outage.

Back in October Snapchat suffered a major outage, with users around the world claiming they are unable to send or receive snaps.

Mirror Online has contacted Snapchat for comment.
