Snap
Inc-owned instant photo-sharing service, Snapchat is down for users in India. Several users took to Elon Musk-owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to report about the issues they faced while accessing Snapchat. Some users reported that they were unable to send snaps and messages to their friends while others noted that Snapchat didn’t allow them to upload images.
However, only the Indian servers of the platform seem to be affected by this outage.
