Snapchat users across Scotland are reporting issue with the app.
Hundreds of users of the social networking and messaging service have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration.
Users are finding difficulties sending and receiving messages or faults surrounding the refresh function.
DownDetector has shown a huge spike in faults in the last hour.
One Twitter user said: "I can’t send anyone messages or post anything, and it tells me i’ve got a message but nothing shows up".
Another said: "Some people are experiencing some troubles with the app... stories and friends and memories are not loading".
And a third wrote: "My messages are coming through but can’t open them can send messages can’t see replies".
Snapchat support has begun replying to users letting them know they are working on the problem.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
