Downdetector in both the UK and the U.S. indicate a very large spike in reported problems with the popular platform this morning, with issues split between login issues, connection, and the app itself.

Snapchat is one of the best iPhone apps for communication especially between young people. Recently the company announced that it had overcome changes to privacy made by Apple in iOS 14 earlier than expected, causing the company's shares to rocket some 52 percent.
