"Is anyone else's Snapchat half down or is it just mine, main snaps aren't sending but 'blue' chat is?" one Twitter user wrote.
Another asked: "Is Snapchat not working for everyone or is it just me?"
The official Snapchat Support account on Twitter posted: "We're aware that some Snapchatters are having issues using the app right now - hang tight, we're looking into it!"
The major outage comes just a week after Facebook was hit by issues across all of its apps, including Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. The total down time lasted more than six hours, costing the company millions of dollars in revenue.
