Users attempting to send photos were met with a message sending failed notification and a cannot connect to server message.

Snapchat acknowledged in a statement that they’re aware of the problem and are currently looking into the matter.

They advised that they realise some people are unable to send snaps, but they’re working on a fix and advised people to remain logged into their accounts.
