Dumb app, extremely basic, annoying to use, but some people I know outright REFUSE to communicate any other way, so I'm here. My real issue is that today, I have been unable to load snaps, and several that I want to send just aren't sending. I also can't view my friends list at all. I've got a perfect wifi connection, so it has to be the app; what's going on?

It's so slow and drains a lot of battery. It uses a lot of data and the camera is so bad compared to my actual camera on my phone. I guess you guys updated the app recently, and my camera keeps freezing. I have a galaxy s20fe and most of the filters that effect your face are laggy, but other androids and iPhones run it perfectly. Please fix. this is my favorite app to use and it's the slowest and worst app I have.

been using snap for awhile now, on a texting side of things it's fine but over time I've watched the app just get worse. I keep getting notifications about people's story's that I don't have added or notifications on, there's adds in my chat feeds now which is just low. I can't go to the discover tab and see anything interesting anymore just the stuff I want to see (cars videos, cats, ect.) is just soft core porn every other section in it. Just over time it became very annoying to use.
