Every now and then, messages received are disappearing along with my own. After it seems like everyone's profile just goes blank or shows me a black screen. The app eventually fixes itself the next day. It was okay at first, but now it seems like it's happening every other day. None of the updates have managed to fix this problem. Don't know what to do other than to ignore it until it fixes itself 🤷🏻‍♀️

Snapchat used to be pretty good. Unfortunately corporate greed from a business that likely already makes plenty of money from the app is getting in the way of a good user experience. I'm impressed with how they are consistently able to find new places to squeeze ads and add annoyances that you can only get rid of if you pay for their premium account. Like pining the AI bot to the top of your chat. Adding ads to my chat that appear to be a video sent by a friend is ridiculous.

My videos don't have sound and haven't for months but works on every other app I have. There is a log in my phone that shows when and how long snapchat used the microphone so the issue has to be in the app. Also, photos/videos are set to "save for 24 hours" but the stuff doesn't actually save and this has been going on for a while as well. I've reported these issues a couple of times but nothing has been fixed and no one from snapchat has reached out to help or give an explanation.
