Snapchat Is Down This Morning, Meaning Everybody Is On Twitter Complaining

Snapchat went down this morning as many users reported problems with logging into the popular social media app throughout the day.

On Downdetector, a service where people post reports about outages online, charts showed that the outage seemed to begin at 9 a.m. Eastern time and continued into the afternoon. Just like in past social media outages, people immediately flocked to a different social media app to share their sorrows and frustrations.

Hopefully, Snapchat will be operational again soon. Most of these outages never last more than a few hours anyhow.
