According to the website, 76% of issues are related to the app not working.
Why are my Snapchats not sending?
User reports on Twitter suggest that the issue is related to snaps not sending, with hundreds taking to the social networking site to share their issues.
One user wrote: "me running to Twitter to see if snapchat is down for everyone else too".
Another said: "Its not sending snaps either photos in the chat".
On Down Detector, a user wrote "snaps are not sending."
Snapchat has not yet confirmed any issue with the service, however reports on Down Detector have quickly risen to over 7000 (at time of writing).
On Twitter, The Snapchat Support account is asking users to DM them to try and fix any issues users may be facing.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
