How To Fix Snapchat Issues On Android?


Snapchat is one of the most popular apps, and even though it works really good on all devices, including Android smartphone and tablets, but sometimes you may get the message saying “Unfortunately, Snapchat has stopped”, or the app may freeze or crash. This can be easily solved. We are going to share a few potential solutions with you so you can fix Snapchat issues on Android.

Clear App Cache

The best place to start is by clearing the Snapchat cache. It is a simple thing to do, just follow the steps below:
  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap on Apps (on some Android devices it is App Manager or Manage apps)
  3. Find the Snapchat
  4. Tap on the app and then click Clear Cache
When you do this, launch Snapchat and see if it is working normally.

Clear App Data

If clearing the cache didn’t help, then this may help you to get rid of the problem. By clearing the cache, all the information the app stored will be deleted. Do the following:
  1. Navigate to Settings
  2. Tap on Apps (on some Android smartphones or tablets it is App Manager or Manage apps)
  3. Now find the Snapchat and tap on it
  4. Click on Clear Data

Why Cached Data Exists

The main reason why cached data exists is to make loading time faster. So if the device already has the layout of the website saved in the form of cached data, it will not have to load that same data once again. This helps in quickening the process of loading the website.

Clear Snapchat Cache

By clearing the cache data  of snap chat, you will be removing the information stored by the app to make certain task perform faster. You will not lose your sensitive information, contacts or snaps.
  1. Navigate to settings
  2. Click on the gear icon at the top right
  3. At the extreme bottom under account actions, select clear cache
  4. Then clear all cache, your Snapchat should be working fine afterward.

Make Sure The Snapchat Is Up To Date

You should make sure that all your apps are up to date, including Snapchat. Here is what you need to do:
  1. Open Play Store app
  2. Tap on three horizontal lines
  3. When the menu opens tap on “My apps & games”
  4. Go through the apps and find Snapchat
  5. Tap Update

Delete The App And Install It Again

In most cases, one of the above-mentioned solutions will fix the problem. If that doesn’t happen, you should delete the app and install it again.

To delete an application on your Android device, you can choose one of two methods:

  • Method 1: Find the app’s icon on the Home screen, tap and hold it and then drag the app to “Uninstall” filed
  • Method 2: Go to Settings, tap Apps (App Manager, Manage apps), find Snapchat, tap on it and click Uninstall.
