Hundreds of Snapchatters complained about the app in a matter of minutes on Thursday, according to reports.
Down Detector, an independent outage monitor saw a spike in complaints about issues with the app after 4pm GMT (London time).
Majority of issues seemingly related to receiving snaps, refreshing the feed and sending snaps.

Honestly, I’d delete #Snapchat if I didn’t have a 2 and half year long streak, this app is down at least 46272 times a year and I still can’t change my username I made when I was a 13 year old fangirl, ffs pic.twitter.com/Dg2eou36qB
