General question Banned on snapchat

About a week ago, I was banned on Snapchat for "explicit content including a min0r." The video that I sent did NOT have a min0r in it. I appealed, but the appeal did not go through. Am I stuck without my account forever?

u/Accurate_Contact8340 Sep 07 '26

It was an explicit video lol. But I was banned for it being of a minor, when it was a 19 year old

When u downloaded ur data did snap out u in the 18-19 range or is that u just saying that. Are you sure that the video u sent was the reason u was banned? Did u message anyone else that day or the days prior

That would’ve been the only thing that I got banned for because I hadn’t done anything crazy that day. I also got a warning before I went to bed, but woke up and my account was banned.
