Fix Snapchat Account Locked in iPhone, Android

A lot of Snapchat users are saying that they have been locked out of Snapchat. Some users Snapchat are locked temporarily while others have been locked permanently. The primary reason of this lockdown is the usage of Cydia, third party apps like 6Snap, Phantom, Snapchat++, trying to get a root access, trying to modify the versions of Snapchat and side loading other features to add more filters in Snapchat. This article explains how to fix Snapchat locked problem.

For Jailbreak Users

If you are using a jailbroken device, you can fix Snapchat account locked by following the steps below.

First, close and kill the Snapchat app. It must not be running in the background as well. You can kill the Snapchat process by tapping the home button two times and then closing the app.
