Snapchat is back: All the best memes and reactions after platform becomes latest app to suffer major outage

After several hours of Snapchat being among the many platforms to experience major outages, users can rejoice as the issue has been fixed!

Snapchat Support took to their official Twitter to tweet the following: “The issue has been fixed! If you’re still having trouble, please let us know. Happy Snapping!”
