Can't sign into Snapchat on iPhone

Hello, i have a problem with my snapchat account is that everytime i try logging in from this specific phone, my account gets automatically locked but if i try logging in from any other device, like my old iphone for example, it works perfectly fine so what is the problem with my phone? Why won’t it let me log into snapchat? And im sure that i didnt install any third party apps or anything else.

My snapchat account keeps getting locked out on my iphone 7 .If I log in on another phone which is my parents iphone 7 .it has no issue. It only logs me out and locks my account on my personal phone. This just started 2 days ago. I did not install any third party apps or do any spam. It somehow is related to my phone since it only happens on my phone. I tried to clearing and deleting my phone and starting over but it still does the same thing. Thanks for any help.

no, i tried a new sim. i literally had to go get a whole new phone. i got a new sim for it, changed my number and made a new apple ID just in case.


i tried my old sim(the original one from the phone my snap was messed up on) in someone else’s phone and now it won’t let her on snap either, so don’t go buy a new phone and then ruin it with that, get all new everything just to not risk it.

I’m having the exact same issue, since Snapchat glitched about 2 weeks ago since then my account has been “temporarily locked” but when I go on safari to unlock it it says permanently locked.. I’ve tryed to make a new account and that also gets locked straight away, but every day it will let me log into my “locked” account for about 4 minutes before it logs me out and says it’s temporarily locked again😩

The answer was given in a prior comment:


”The issue is, your phone has a unique IMEI number and due to that number being unique and registered to your personal phone the only option you have is to change the IMEI. Unfortunately, the only way to do so is by getting a new phone due to it being illegal to change the IMEI number set to your phone.


as soon as you make a new account Snapchat will match the IMEI number linked to your phone and will delete the account. “

I ended up selling the decide. Tried to contact apple support a multiple times over the phone as well. I showed them while sharing my screen to three different senior consultants.

none of them could find any solution regarding this. They kept on asking me that record the screen and send it to us.

I showed them a number of times about what’s happening and also explained that how it works fine on other devices. They kept on transferring me to one place to another. They even asked me to reset the phone by putting it to the recovery mode and install the iOS again. Tried that one as well, didn’t work. In the end I asked them out of curiosity that my device is still under warranty. Is there any chance you could replace it? I was really frustrated and tired by explaining the same issue to the different consultants everytime.

then one of the consultants added the note in the CRM software with my case id saying that the customer is looking for a replacement device for no reason or something and after that all the officers just created an impression that I’m doing something dodgy to get a replacement device and kept on transferring me to different consultants. This is really poor service from apple. This is the first time I’m so disappointed with apple.

I ended up selling the phone just because apple couldn’t help on this thing.
