Snapchat crashes, users go into meltdown

Snapchat users are in a frenzy after the app crashed.

More than 1300 Snapchatters from around the world have reported issues with the app today.

While some have found they are unable to send or receive Snaps, others reported the app will not start altogether.

The UK and other parts of Europe appear to have been hit hardest, along with the East Coast of the United States.

Frustrated Snapchat users took to Twitter to check if others were experiencing problems this afternoon.

And, not long after, Snapchat confirmed the app is down for many.

Some Snapchatters are having trouble with the app 😓 We're aware of the issue and working on a fix! We recommend staying logged into your account.

"Some Snapchatters are having trouble with the app,' Snapchat Support tweeted.

"We're aware of the issue and working on a fix! We recommend staying logged into your account."

While it appears to have been fixed for some, many users are still reporting that the app is not working.

Most indicated they were having trouble sending snaps (39 percent), while many said they could not receive snaps or refresh the app (31 percent).

Some also noted that the app won't start, or crashes after opening (28 percent).

Scattered incidents were reported all over the world, from the US West Coast to the Middle East and Australia.

Most, however, appeared to be coming from the UK and northern Europe, and the eastern US.
