You couldn't even Snapchat away your stress Wednesday after a shocking presidential election.

Snapchat was down for about an hour Wednesday afternoon. The company initially reported they were looking into problems with the messaging app and then sent out an update that the "issues" had been resolved.

Only about 30 minutes into the outage, people were starting to really freak out. And blame our new president-elect.
