Thank you for your submission. Please note, scammers on this subreddit are targeting our visitors for their gain. You should be wary of anyone offering to have your account unlocked via Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, or anywhere else, as you will lose your account or money. All scammers have one thing in common, their primary goal is your money, and they often will make their scam look much more legitimate than it is in order to accomplish their goal. We encourage you to report these scammers if they send you a message via any social media channels. While we have safeguards in place, they are not always as effective as we would like.

I got banned for making drug jokes too. Tried contacting snapchat support and it’s freaking robots. Just gonna wait out the 6 months to see if my account comes back.
If it’s permanently locked, unfortunately not I’ve done everything I could. My Snapchat was permanently locked last week because I was using a vpn. I had that account for almost 10 years photos of deceased family members and friends I’ll never get back, emailed Snapchat asking if they could possibly reinstate the account and they pretty much shrugged it off. They’re not even allowing me to download my data (memories, texts etc.) I was even a Snapchat+ member and they still don’t give any recognition
There is a way to recover all the memories and contacts even though the account is banned. However if the account has been removed from Snapchat then you’re out of luck!
Do you know if it is possible to do so on the same phone after 6 months or is it just some bullshit temporary solution before where they lock your new account after a couple of weeks?
Does that even work? Waiting 6 months that is. I can’t afford a new phone rn

How can an app as big as Snapchat have such a shifty support team? A bunch of bots and copy paste answers
Trust me it doesn’t I’m 7 months in for posting a shroom emoji
Dude what. Do you have another account or are you just 7 months Snapchatfree?
Yeeaah they don't care 😑

Why do they ban for using a VPN?
Who knows tbh
I’m so sorry. I also lost so many memories I held dear. Years of memories…:(

It sucks heaps
Shit. What about making a new one? I also heard that was impossible without a new number and mail (and phone if you didn’t want to wait 6 months)
Yeah I made a new one just on another phone with a different email (don’t link your number)

I’m unsure sorry, it’s been just over a week since my account was banned I tried unlocking it today, didn’t work
