We’ve all panicked when our favourite app stops working or our computer freezes – but it’s important to always keep things in perspective.
While it may seem like an emergency to you that your Snapchat is down, it’s probably best to keep that information to yourself or those in your life who would care about such things.
What you certainly shouldn’t do in this situation is call the police looking for help, which is exactly what one foolish Snapchatter did this week before being informed that his call could be traced back to him.
West Midlands Police released a recording of the call, asking people to not waste the time of the emergency operators by reporting such mundane incidents.
It's not okay to call us on 999 if you have a problem with your Snapchat. Listen here: https://t.co/xGvo8K6XSr #ThinkBeforeYouCall
