Frequently asked questions
Can third-party apps get my Snapchat locked?
Yes. Apps and tweaks that add features to Snapchat break its rules and can cause logouts or a temporary lock. Delete them and change your password.
Is my Snapchat account hacked?
If you see logins you do not recognize, or your password stopped working, secure it right away: change the password and turn on two-factor authentication.
