But if you try from another device , the account is opening fine, only if the snapchat account is opened from the specific device the account will be locked and users are not able to access snapchat on the device due to device ban.  Resetting the phone does not seems to fix the issue.

It’s been happening to me for about two months now. I haven’t really found any viable way of retaining the current account and staying on the same device. I am able to log into my snap chat about once every 18-24 hours. So once a day I log on and look at my story’s, but some functions don’t work. That’s about as far as I’ve gotten.

I tried going to settings and moving 6 months ahead and it doesn’t work, whenever you open the App Store it just doesn’t work cuz ya l is your 6 months into the future so no you might have to wait your time out

it works to log in on my old phone but my current one is device banned.

btw this has happened to me for basically a month now all of y'all can access your locked accounts every 12 hours and make sure you don't get any notifications/pop ups (like low power mode) before you enter your account but you can only respond to around 10 people so be warned I hope this helps a little bit but I still haven't been able to get back into my account

Does that work^?

Solution to this it to buy a new fone as snapchat has your phone ip address in its system and wont allow it on old device and dont link your previous phone number to your snapchat also create a new email to use
Anonymous said…
does the ban go away after like 6 months? cause my account is good, i logged in on another phone, it’s my phone what’s banned.

So if you get a new phone, can you use the account that you had when the original phone got banned??

If I get banned on 1 device, and I create a new account on another device, can I log into that account on the “banned” device and use it as normal?
Anonymous said…
If I get banned on one device, create a new Snapchat account (new e Mail new phone number), can I use the new account on the old “banned” device or will that also get locked too

Snapchat sucks they need out of business and shut down completely. They don’t care who’s banned or what you lose or that if you use their app at this point they are losing thousands of people and interest in the app because they won’t fix it or unbanned are device they don’t give a rats ass about no warning like a time out then get back on hell no they just banned your device and your done with the app until you buy a new phone or use your old one. I’ve had this happen to me a few times for no reason and they still won’t fix it. They are dumb bots who are no help at all and can’t get someone to actually talk to a real human being to your emails. I’ve made an account on my old phone tried to go on it on my new one locked me out so I deleted it they can just go out of business for all I care!! We need a new social media that’s not so strict and don’t banned devices #snapchatisdead

Got banned for posting a nug of weed when it’s legal in my state, my mom passed away last year and I lost 6 yrs of memories with her and my kids, fuck you snapchat: people post guns and hard drugs and pussy pics, and I practically got banned for posting something when my phone album says it’s food. Y’all are whack as fuck.
