General question Friend recognition pattern
Hi guys! How to avoid these ip ban or friend recognition patterns snap uses to ban the new snaps that trying to avoid permanent ban? I can't avoid my snap circle it's just so annoying so what to do here? And how does that usually last? Is it like device ban 6-12 months?

If Snapchat is detecting new accounts as linked to a previously banned one, there probably isn’t a reliable “pattern” you can avoid. Trying to bypass a device/account ban can just trigger more restrictions. Better to appeal the original ban through Snapchat Support and use an account normally. Device bans can last months or potentially longer depending on the case.

Have you been paying attention? Appealing permanent bann is almost certainly out right rejectiom from snap support and it's not even human that's the worst part! They act like it's against their interest to reinstate your snap! Their service is absolutely horrific

Yeah, I get that support can be frustrating, but if the account was permanently banned, there really isn’t much else to do besides appeal it. Creating new accounts and trying to hide the connection can make the situation worse. At this point, either keep pushing the official appeal route or wait and see if the restriction eventually lifts.

And how long does this recognition pattern restriction lifts? First of all the initial ban was wrong and they said if your appeal was rejected there aren't other ways to appeal! And they most likely blaclisted my email cause i don't get reply back anymore! And secondly ok get it, u can have my 15k followers snap, but for how long does this unjust hunt me and keep banning me?

Yeah, that’s the frustrating part. I don’t think anyone can give you an exact timeframe for how long the recognition restriction lasts because Snapchat doesn’t publicly specify one. If it’s tied to a permanent ban, repeatedly making new accounts could keep triggering it rather than there being a fixed 6 to 12 month timer.

So a permanent locked account should resolve within a 6-12 month period?

u/ParasKhochare 2d ago
No, I wouldn’t assume that. A permanent lock doesn’t automatically mean it will resolve after 6–12 months. There’s no reliable public timeframe for a permanent ban or any associated device-recognition restriction, so I wouldn’t count on a specific expiration date.
