Snapchat hasn’t addressed the issue

Five possible solutions
As with all Snapchat glitches, there is no quick fix to make your app work again, but here are some things that could help…
- Close the app and open it again.
First, try completely shutting down your app. On an iPhone, do this by swiping up on your homepage.
Some users have reported that logging out of the app and then logging back in again has fixed their Snapchat.
It’s the oldest trick in the book, and sometimes all you’ve got to do is turn your phone off and on again.
You could also try deleting your app and then re-downloading it again from the App Store.
Clearing all your stored Snapchat data could be the key to fixing your app. Do this by heading to Profile > Settings > Account Actions > Clear Cache.
If none of these things work, close the app and try opening it again in a few hours when the problem should be fixed.
