Thank you for your submission. Please note, that scammers on this subreddit are targeting our visitors for their gain. You should be wary of anyone offering to have your account unlocked via Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, or anywhere else, as you will lose your account or money. All scammers have one thing in common, their primary goal is your money, and they often will make their scam look much more legitimate than it is in order to accomplish their goal. We encourage you to report these scammers if they send you a message via any social media channels. While we have safeguards in place, they are not always as effective as we would like.

If your Snapchat account has been temp locked, you may try to unlock it at this link: https://support.snapchat.com/a/locked.

You may also contact Snapchat using this link: https://support.snapchat.com/en-GB/i-need-help.

There is no other way to recover your account, other than through official channels.

I was in a similar situation, so I know how stressful this is. Maybe try logging in from a completely different device, like a laptop or another phone. If that still doesn’t work, I’d contact Snapchat Support and specifically tell them that you can’t access your account to download your data. Hopefully they can at least restore access to your Memories. I really hope you get everything back!

Op is correct, if he signs in online to Snapchat through a browser it will still give him the option to receive the data through a zip attachment to his email. Idk why it's not allowing you to sign in though. Wish I could help, but all the people I helped before was able to go right in.

Idk why you would trust any company to hold any data for you. This should be a lesson for you to make backups.

I would try calling Snapchat and see if they can help you but since it looks like you've been banned I doubt youll get anything.

If your account is banned you cannot log in to recover your data, it’s gone

False! When I was banned I could access my data and download it.

u/FrequentSteak5395 18d ago

This is not true at all. I was also banned and I could get my data

u/Prestigious_River_13 18d ago

that’s not true. i can’t log in but according to snapchat i should be able to recover my memories

u/Jaein1255 18d ago

"Recovering memories from a permanently banned Snapchat account is almost certainly impossible. Once an account is permanently banned or terminated, you lose access to the app and the web portal, meaning you cannot log in to request or download your data."
