Snapchat is very strict about enforcing its Terms of Use. This link explains their procedures and enforcement strategy→My Snapchat Account is Locked.


But basically, When Snapchat bans a user they also ban the device that was used to access Snapchat. If it wasn’t a permanent ban your account will be usable after the duration of the ban. Otherwise you will never be able to use Snapchat again from the device that was banned, and if you try to access it with the same account or information that can be associated with that account (such as name or phone number) from another device, that device will be banned also.

Android phone makers do not this to you. Nor does Apple do this to you.


Snapchat does this to you.


  • If they feel like it, they will ban your account whether you are logging in from an iPhone or from an Android phone.
  • If they think there is any chance that you will try to evade the account ban by creating new accounts, they will ban your iPhone or your Android phone as well as your account.
  • If you buy a used iPhone or a used Android phone, it may be "new" to you, but there is always the chance that Snapchat banned the device due to the actions of a previous owner, and will refuse to lift the ban for you. The ban might even be the reason that the seller is so eager to get rid of the phone.


If you want to be upset with someone, there's no point in being upset with Apple. They didn't put the ban on your account or on your phone.


If you feel like switching to Android anyway, do so. That is no skin off the nose of any fellow users here. Just don't be surprised if you find that if the reason you are switching to Android is to evade a Snapchat ban … that Snapchat bans your shiny new Android phone fast enough to make your head swim.

That is not a phone issue it is a YOU issue that only SnapChat can resolve. Yes, the same thing happens to Android phone and those user's account when SnapChat determines they have violated their terms of use and issues either a Temporary or Permanent ban. They are able to prevent access from any phone, IP Address, and by the users account. To learn more about those bans, read the information SnapChat provides on their help site and you will find the statement you provided is false. Most legitimate sites also work to prevent the spread of false information.

I have not had Snapchat in a few months because I sent a funny video to my friend and he reported me. I just want my account back.

I'm sure you do want your account back. Since you replied to the first post, you must not have read the rest of the responses. Had you done so, you'd know that Apple, nor anyone here on this user to user only forum has anything to do with SnapChat. ONLY SnapChat can restore your account. What did they say when you contacted them?

My device is banned on snapchat for no reason and wont let me get back in on my device.


Welcome to the thread.


Now, please read it. You'll find out that there is nothing that we or Apple can do about this Snapchat device ban. Whether Snapchat banned you for good reason, bad reason, or no reason, they're the only ones who can lift the ban and let you use Snapchat again on your device.

How can I unban my device

You won't be able to do that and Apple won't be able to help either. SnapChat is the only one that could help you with that if they want to allow you to use their service again. It may be a Temporary ban or a Permanent ban where you will never be able to use SnapChat again. This will depend on the severity of the violation for their Terms of Use and they don't even need to tell you what that violation is. Many times there are no second chances.


Some users feel like they can do and say whatever they want because they are behind a screen, but those users quickly find out that is not the case.

Hey I will try and get on my Snapchat and it is saying that I have sso7 and then only thing I will be doing is adding people I know so can you please unbanned sandy_w09 please


Take it up with Snapchat. They're the ones who control the ban, and the only ones who can lift it. Unfortunately for you, it doesn't sound as if they're likely to consider your request.


"If you're seeing an SS07 error code when trying to log in, this means your device has been banned from logging into Snapchat because too many accounts have been associated with the device. 


If your device has been banned, Snapchat Support cannot unban it for you."


Snapchat Support – I get an error message logging in to Snapchat

Tough. We cannot unban you. Apple cannot. Only Snapchat can unban you – and from what I can see on their Support pages, odds are that they will not.


If you buy a new phone – whether an iPhone or an Android phone – and they detect you trying to evade their ban, or they see you repeating whatever behavior they didn't like that got your current phone banned - there is a very good chance that they will ban your new phone, too. Permanently, and with no hesitation. You might then have a new phone, but you still would not have Snapchat.


Don't like it? Take it up with Snapchat. Or learn to live without Snapchat – which is something you might have to do, if they refuse to reconsider.
