Contact Snapchat support. It's their ban, nothing to do with Apple, and only they can lift it.


You can try to explain the situation to them and see if they will unban the device for you.

How do I get Snapchat back on my iPhone after my mom deleted the Snapchat app and the App Store on my iPhone


It is impossible to delete the App Store app from an iPhone unless

  • You live in the European Union, and have gone to the trouble to install an alternative App Store first.
  • You have a jail-broken iPhone.


What seems more likely is that your mom is using Parental Controls to limit your ability to download apps from the App Store. In which case, you would need to convince her to let the Snapchat app back on your phone.

Clearly your mom doesn't want you to use Snapchat on your iPhone. This has nothing to do with Apple, nor can anyone here help you bypass parental controls to defeat what your mom has put in place. I'm betting your mom bought you the phone and pays for it. You need to follow the direction your mom has put in place. I can assure you if my kid disobeyed me on their phone, they'd not only not have access to Snapchat, they'd have their phone taken away.
