Snapchat went down for an hour, and the millennials panicked
Snapchat selfie sharing came to dramatic halt on Friday, and not surprisingly, its core user base was not happy.
The popular photo-swapping network experienced an outage this morning, as users were unable to send snaps to friends or post to their Snapchat stories. However, users were still able to view existing stories, as well as content on Snapchat’s Discover channels.
Snapchat told Mashable the issue lasted for less than an hour and has since been resolved. It declined to comment on why it was down.
