How To Get Subscribe Button On Snapchat

Download Article

Snapchat can lock your account if you are using third-party apps or plug-ins, sending unsolicited or abusive snaps, adding too many friends without verifying your account, or if your account has been compromised. If your Snapchat account has been temporarily locked, you can usually log back in after 24 hours. This wikiHow teaches you how to get back into your Snapchat account if it's been locked.

1
Uninstall third-party Snapchat apps or plug-ins. If you are using an unauthorized third-party app or plug-in to access Snapchat, you will need to completely uninstall the app or plug-in from your iPhone or Android before trying to sign back in.
- 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 in order to uninstall the app.^[1]
