What to do if your Snapchat account is compromised
Short answer
Use Snapchat’s own compromised-account process; never hand a helper your password or verification code.
Open the next guideWhat you need to know
Changed details, unknown sessions or messages you did not send deserve a structured response.
-
Identify the signs
Snapchat lists unexpected login alerts, changed email or phone, spam and posts you did not make among possible signs.
-
Secure what you control
Change the password if you can, verify your contact details and sign out unknown sessions.
-
Use official help
If you cannot regain control through the app, follow Snapchat Support. No independent guide can verify ownership or restore access for you.
The available route depends on access
-
You can still sign in
Secure the password, contact details and active sessions.
-
You cannot sign in
Use the account-access process; this site cannot verify ownership or unlock it.
-
Someone asks for a payment or code
Do not treat a recovery broker as account support.
