Is your Snapchat account locked? We can help you get it back! Snapchat may lock your account if they detect suspicious activity such as adding too many friends, using unauthorized third-party apps, or violating their guidelines. If your account has a temporary lock, you can log back in after 24 hours. If you still can't log in after a day, we'll show you how to restore your Snapchat account using the unlock form and by reaching out to customer service.

Steps

    • In some cases, unauthorized apps that require a jailbroken iPhone or iPad cannot be completely uninstalled. If that is the case for you, you will need to Update to the latest version of iOS to uninstall the app.
