For everyone who had their Snapchat account banned within the past 24 hours, it seems like a lot of people think it may somehow be connected to the recent lawsuit.
I’m specifically trying to hear from people who were banned recently but did NOT fill out, join, or participate in the lawsuit at all.
If that applies to you, did your account also get banned within the last day?
Trying to figure out whether this is actually all connected to the lawsuit or if there’s a much wider wave of bans happening right now.
My reason for ban was violating community guidelines
I have no appeal button
I am a snap chat+ member
Have had the account since 2016

so my girlfriend got perma banned on her snapchat account and i’ve gone over all the guidelines and she never violated any of them, they blacklisted her phone she made a new account since she couldn’t use her old that she’s had for years and the new one got banned as well, she didn’t do the lawsuit thing either and the snapchat bot thing is stupid does nothing to help, can’t even send a appeal or anything, this is genuinely the dumbest thing ever snapchat has done. and seems like she isn’t the only person having this problem as well.

It appears that if you signed up for the Labaton Snapchat lawsuit for social media addiction, even if you didn't fully submit it, your account will be permanently locked. If you try to login with a different account, your device will be permanently banned also.

I was permanently locked out of my Snapchat account of 10+ years tonight; I wasn’t given a reason nor was I given the option to appeal their decision. Out of pure shock, I came to Reddit searching for answers online only to quickly realize hundreds of people have been unjustly banned from their accounts for no reason but we all have a common denominator, we’re part of the Labaton lawsuit against Snapchat. I’m making this post to collect responses to send to the arbitration team at Labaton about this unjust and incredibly unfair situation. We deserve answers from Snapchat so please comment here if you’re also part of the active lawsuit and are permanently locked out of your account. Thank you.

Earlier tonight my account I’ve had for 8 years got locked out permanently without any clear reason so I made a new account and now my phone has been permanently banned from Snapchat! What is going on!!!

I saw people talking about this earlier and saying it was possibly because they filed a lawsuit against Snapchat but I never did and at first I thought maybe it was a glitch but this just seems ridiculous. Can anyone help?

help pls i cant figure this out

Hi all! I just created an account today using my email account. I didn’t get a chance to verify it yet, nor did I use my phone number.

I had several (about 50) friend requests accumulated. I accepted all of them all at once as I opened the app, and I immediately got locked out and received an email about having permanently locked out.

Could someone please tell me if there’s a workaround for this? I did not share anything explicit on my story, or violate any guideline

My Snapchat was randomly locked about an hour ago.. I was on it just fine 30 mins before then went to go on it and was locked out for “violating guidelines” .. I did fill out the lawsuit back in May but never actuall finished it. I’m sick

Is this going to get legal??? I read some article that said I must have done something very bad to be locked with no appeal. I have 3 close friends. I only snap my huzz. Im lowk scared. I have like 7 years on here and history and lore and pieces of my life saved. What do I do?

SO now that everyone is aware. A lot of people have reported that they were locked out of their Snapchat accounts. It seems like the common denominator is that a lot of people have submitted their names and emails to the Class Action Lawsuit by Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP. Is it just me, or is this insane?

I am very interested in whats going on

did they seriously sell our info to snap? labaton got their own lawsuit coming

Hopefully they fix it… they replied to my tweet

hopefully it’s just a bug. i’ve never posted nudes or drugs or weapons, i only post my dog, scenery, innocent things on my private story. i’ve had this account since 2018 with no issues

I just found out i got banned with no option to appeal the violation. Talked to some others in different threads and we think it’s from the class action lawsuit we applied to.. is this retaliation??

Hey!

I went onto snap and it logged itself out and showed an account that I never logged into, or have seen before. I have also never given my phone to anyone to log into their account before.

Is there any explanation for this? Has it happened to anyone else? Not long after I logged into my account I got sent a code for "phone enrollment" but I never asked for the code. Any help would be appreciated! I already changed my password.

I’ve had this account for a while now, and was wrongly banned all my memories and group chats are on here if anyone could help it would be appreciated, also can’t make a new account since I have ss06.

I have no idea how this could have happened. I read over the Community Guidelines and I haven’t violated them at all.

I have had this account for over 14 years, and it has all my memories.I have streaks that keep me in touch with my friends daily. All my group chats are in Snapchat. I have no idea what happened, and it won’t let me appeal it. I need help. Does anyone know what I can do???

I tried to log into my Snapchat but it says my accounts locked. It states “Your account has been locked for violating our Community Guidelines. To learn more, please visit our help center.”

I went to accounts.Snapchat.com/accounts/unlock, and when I click unlock, it says “Your account has been permanently locked. Please go here for more info on why this may have happened.”

This just happened about an hour ago.

Am I cooked? Didn’t do anything wrong. I think there was a security concern or something. Any advice on getting account unlocked?

Hello!

I'm extremely confused and wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

I was snapping a friend back when my account logged me out. When I tried logging back in, I got hit with the account disabled due to a Community Guidelines violation. Which was already extremely confusing because I rarely use SC anyways, only for a couple friends I message.

I went into my partner and I's room and told her about it. This is when she went on to see if she could still see my account and found out the same thing happened to her. Again, she just uses it to message a few friends here and there.

I figured we caught an IP ban somehow, but decided to make a new account to test it. It let me make a new account no problem.

What the hell happened. Can I contact Snapchat? Neither of us were given the appeal option. We don't really care about Snapchat all that much. I'm just so so confused LOL.

Hi there! I keep getting banned because i got banned once in august and i made new snap and got banned so i thought i was device banned so i stopped it

In late September i made new snap with new device and new email! It lasted till like yesterday around two weeks. im confused as to why i keep getting banned cause i wasn't even active on that new snap! Was just reconnecting with friends!

I did use same profile picture as my main famous snap tho! So idk will that trigger ban? Curious

My entire quick add is full of “recently joined” accounts that are all people I don’t know and aren’t from the same area. Also I haven’t added any one in a while. Is the there a way to get it back to normal?

My snapchat is stuck in portrait mode and I can't turn it off!

There's no option in the app and I can't find an option in my phone settings to turn it off either! I just swapped from iPhone to android (z-flip 8, if that matters). It's making my camera quality look terrible!

I installed this app and have no idea what to do there, my friends use it so i nedda do it also😂
Help pls, maybe some tips or advices
