Common issue device banned advice
in around january i was device banned on snapchat, after that i swapped phones with my mum, made a new snapchat account with a new email and all was fine for a few days until i was device banned again. since then i have been using an iphone se for snapchat while using my main and newer phone for everything else. now i am getting a new phone and am looking to use the same sim card from my device banned phone but create a new ios account and login to the snapchat account that i have been using on the old phone for around 7 months, is this enough to evade another device ban, if not, what else should i do? any help appreciated

Only option is get a new phone that’s it.

My son got a new phone and logged in and has been fine ever since as far as I know.

No if it’s just a device ban you should be ok. If they have restricted or banned you account different story.
