Honestly, I have a harsh love/hate relationship with Snapchat. I love the filters and how easy it is to add other contacts. I am not a fan of the stupid AI convo right at the top where you can't remove it, annoying and irrelevant ads that pop up every 5 minutes and the restoration factor is super flawed. Unbelievable though how for years now, no ads, and now all of a sudden, ads GALORE!!! You really need to have a premium account to remove stupid ads? Waste of time!

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?

New update is absolute garbage. I just want to see my friends' stories, not ads and random "discover" stories. Put things back where they were. Keep stories and chat separate. edit 4/28/25: the app is somehow worse! Now it won't save my notification preferences and keeps spamming me with stories and updates from people I don't know or follow. it's gotten so bad I've turned off notifications all together
