Ways to Fix Snapchat not Sending Snaps

1. Check the Friendship Status

Before we discuss the solutions to troubleshoot Snapchat when it's not sending Snaps, first check if the recipient is still on your friend list. This is because Snaps will not be sent if people remove you from Snapchat. To remove your friend list, tap the account or Bitmoji icon located in the top-left corner and choose "My Friends".

Then you'll see an overview of all your Snapchat friends. The search bar is located at the top of the page to search for the username of the person. If it's not appearing it's likely that they've blocked you on Snapchat. This also happens to be one of the easiest ways to know if someone has blocked you on Snapchat

2. Check If Snapchat Is Down

Another reason you might be not able to send Snapchat messages to your contacts could be because of Snapchat's server problems. Unfortunately, Snapchat isn't able to provide a specific live status page, which users can use to find out if the service is down.

In the end, you could always rely on third-party services like Downdetector (visit) to determine whether Snapchat users are experiencing issues. Additionally, you can go to the Snapchat official Twitter support account to get updates regarding server-related issues.

3. Log Out and log in to Snapchat Again

If none of the methods above aid you, try to log out of Snapchat and back into Snapchat. It could fix some bugs.

To log out of your Snapchat account, click the profile tab or Bitmoji after which tap the Settings icon, scroll down until the bottom, then tap the Log Out button and tap again to confirm.

Then you can sign in to your Snapchat account in the normal way and check if you can send Snaps to your contacts.

4. Get Camera Permission

To ensure that Snapchat can capture and share Snaps using the camera built into the app, you should give permission to allow Snapchat access to your phone. If you get a message which reads "Allow Snapchat to access your camera and local storage to take photos and videos, detect screenshots, and more", click the switch to turn it on.

You can also check for camera permissions on Android as well as iPhone. In the Settings app, click on Snapchat to check the app's permissions, and confirm that the Camera is on.

5. Check the Internet Connection

Verifying the internet connectivity is a simple step you can take to know if your network is at fault for not sending your Snaps. Check to see if you've enabled the Wi-Fi feature or if you are using mobile data that's on an internet connection that is active. While you are at it you can also set up a speed test to confirm that the network is reliable enough to allow you to send a Snap to your contacts.

6. Clear Snapchat Cache

When Snapchat does not send Snaps Try to clear the app cache to get rid of this problem.

If you have the Snapchat app running, open the app, click your Bitmoji at the top left corner, tap the Settings icon, then select Clear Cache under the ACCOUNTS Actions section.

7. Update Snapchat App

Significant updates that incorporate server-side adjustments have a reputation for breaking the regular features of apps. To prevent this from happening, you could make sure that Snapchat's Snapchat app is up-to-date to the most current version that is available through the Play Store or App Store. After updating the app, make sure to check again to see if Snapchat is still not sending Snapchat messages.
