I’ve had Snapchat since it was first ever created on my iPod touch and have memories back from high school.. I am nearly 30.

Some people can’t afford 1.99 a month and are living on the breadline in the UK and probably many other countries.

Half a lifetime of memories, with relatives, friends and pets that are no longer with us, and you are threatening to completely erase these if I do not comply in paying a ridiculous subscription fee. MONTHLY.

You are a multi billion pound business. Sort it out.

TERRIBLE!

TERRIBLE!! DON’T RECOMMEND
I have been on Snapchat for 8+ years now with no issues, warnings or violations. I made a joke on my priv story about free prescriptions and accidentally typed ‘meth’ instead of ‘method’. As a result they PERMANENTLY banned me, deleted my account and wiped all my chats and memories. They immediately rejected my appeal with an automated response and of course there’s NO OTHER WAY to get in contact with them. Absolutely disgusting service and the cheek of them to STILL CHARGE ME A SUBSCRIPTION for my OWN memories that I can no longer access. Snapchat count your days. I hope you go bankrupt. Money grabbing app, has no care for the users, just big and greedy. Sick of it. Sort yourself out.

I’ve been with Snapchat sense it first came out and if you count the years that’s a lot. Well people can be racist and molesters and send people stuff all the time that is inappropriate,but if you post something with violence, they banned you? MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE! on top of everything they’ve been doing to band honest people, shows what kind of platform this is and who is behind it! Makes me sick SnapChat & their owners.

Very disappointed I’ve been using Snapchat for years!!! And they locked my account only reason was for “violating Snapchat policy” and didn’t even give me a real reason on why! I thought my phone was glitching at first when I kept getting warning and then I was unable to log into my Snapchat! Years!!! Of memories and videos of my great grandmother who passed away last year all gone! I’m furious.

Delete this app

Snapchat is a scam makes you pay for everything. This app wasn't like this years ago. I hate this app now, having to pay to access your memories that you have had for many years. I hope this app goes out of business completely. The guy is a scammer, if he doesn't make a change soon he will lose everything. Very very disappointing that it got to this point. Everyone delete this app to show we are done!

Banned and deleted after paying

I've had Snapchat account for +8 years and woke up this morning with a Snapchat video in my memories from 5 years ago. I posted the video as an ANTI DRUG POST saying I'm glad I'm done doing drugs and have put all that behind me and they banned me and deleted my account which I paid $5 a month for. AND they're charging for storage data now all of a sudden when it's been free since I've had the app so how does that happen? SIMPLE, GREED.
Then on top of those two issues Snapchat promotes sexual content 24/7 too. I highly highly DO NOT RECOMMEND 0/10!

Device ban on second hand phones

I got a second hand phone and it had a device ban on Snapchat. My snap account has no problem but I can’t access on my new phone. Customer service only said they’re unable to assist me and ignored any other e-mails.

Absolutely awful + greedy

Absolutely awful. Snapchat used to be free and fun, but now they want us to pay just to access our own memories? This is ridiculous. My personal snaps and memories are essentially being held hostage unless I pay a subscription. Feels greedy, frustrating, and completely user-unfriendly. Would not recommend.

prevents you from deleting your account, blocking you for 3 days !!!! if you enter the wrong password (but not preventing you from accessing the service which is in itself an abheration) and the 72 hours is clearly a way to discourage you from deleting account. So steals data, prevents deletion, everything to go against privacy and control over data, everything to screw GDRP... Dont use this!
