How to Unlock Your Locked Snapchat Account
To unlock your locked Snapchat account, visit the “My Account is Locked” page on the Snapchat support website.
Next, tap the “unlock your account” link, log into your account, and tap “Unlock”.
After you tap the “Unlock” button, your Snapchat account will be unlocked.
In other words, you should be able to log into your account without errors.
Alternatively, you can try waiting 24 to 48 hours.
According to Snapchat, the lock on your account will last for 24 hours.
This means you will be able to log in after 24 hours of waiting.
However, if you still can’t log into your Snapchat account after 24 hours, then you can use the steps below to unlock your account.
1. Go to the “My account is locked” page and click “unlock your account”
First, you need to visit the “My account is locked” page.
The “My Account is Locked” page is located on Snapchat’s support site.
To do so, search for “Snapchat locked” on Google and click on the link that says “My account is locked – Snapchat Support”.
Alternatively, you can access the page by clicking this link: https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/a/locked.
Once on the page, you will see several reasons why your Snapchat account is locked.
Scroll down until you find the second reason.
The second reason says that you may have sent spam, snapshots or unsolicited messages.
In the second explanation, you’ll see a link that says “unlock your account”.
Tap “unlock your account” to open the login screen where you can unlock your Snapchat account.
2. Sign in to your Snapchat account
After tapping on “unlock your account”, you will get to the login screen.
The login screen contains the username/email and password fields.
You can also access this page by clicking the following link: https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/unlock.
This page was created for users whose Snapchat accounts have been locked for a long time.
If your Snapchat account is still locked after 24 hours, you need to sign in to your account using that page.
Enter the username or email of your locked Snapchat account.
Then, enter your password and tap “Sign In” to log into your account.
Signing in will not open the Snapchat app.
Instead, you’ll go to another page where you can unlock your Snapchat account by tapping a button.
3. Tap “Unlock”
Once you are logged in, you will arrive at the “Account Locked” page.
On the “Account is locked” page, you will see a message saying that you should wait a few hours before signing in again.
The second paragraph says that if your account is locked for a long time, you can click the “Unlock” button.
The last paragraph says that you need to remove your existing third-party apps, tweaks, and plugins before trying to unlock your Snapchat account.
At the bottom of the page, you will see an “Unlock” button.
Tap “Unlock” to unlock your Snapchat account.
Next, go back to your home screen and force close the Snapchat app.
Finally, open Snapchat and log in to your account.
This time, you should be able to log into your Snapchat account without any errors.
You have successfully learned how to unlock your Snapchat account!
How do I know if my Snapchat is locked?
If your Snapchat is locked, you’ll get a “temporarily locked” error message when trying to sign in to your account.
Here is the full error message, “Oh no! Your account has been temporarily locked. For details on why this might be happening, visit https://www.snapchat.com/locked”.
The error message means that your Snapchat account is locked for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, you will be able to sign in to your account again.
Why is my Snapchat locked for no reason?
Your Snapchat is locked for no reason because Snapchat may have mistakenly detected that you are using a third-party app, plugin, or tweak.
If you’ve used third-party apps, plugins, or tweaks in the past, your account will be locked because of them.
However, if you don’t use any third-party apps, there are three other reasons why your account is locked.
First, you may have sent an unwanted photo, video or message.
Second, maybe you added too many friends without verifying your email or phone number.
Finally, your account may have been compromised.
If that’s the case, you’ll need to contact Snapchat support here: https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/i-need-help?start=5145405817880576.
Can I call Snapchat to unlock my account?
No, you cannot call Snapchat to unlock your account.
Snapchat doesn’t have a working phone number so you can contact them for support.
However, if you think your Snapchat account has been hacked, you can contact them here: https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/i-need-help?start=5145405817880576.
Also, if your account is locked, you can fix it using the following link: https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/unlock.
Conclusion
By logging into your Snapchat account using the link in this guide and tapping the “Unlock” button, your account will be unlocked.
However, if your Snapchat account is still locked, you can try some bonus methods.
First, force close Snapchat and go to the App Store or Google Play Store.
Then search for Snapchat and update the app.
Updating to the latest version of the app can help unlock your account.
The last method that you can try is to delete Snapchat and reinstall it.
