How To Unlock Permanently Locked Snapchat (Easy!)

If your Snapchat account has been permanently locked*, it means Snapchat has flagged your account for a serious violation of its policies—such as using third-party apps, violating community guidelines, or engaging in spam or suspicious activity. While Snapchat does offer a process to **unlock temporarily locked accounts**, **permanent locks* are much harder (and often impossible) to reverse. Still, there are a few steps you can take to try and recover access. When you try to log in to your locked Snapchat account, you’ll typically see a message saying *“Your account has been locked”* with a button labeled **Unlock**. Tap on that to begin the process. If your account is only temporarily locked, you might be able to regain access by following the prompts, verifying your identity, and agreeing to remove any violations—such as uninstalling unauthorized apps or plugins. However, if the message says your account is **permanently locked**, and the unlock option doesn’t work or redirects you to a support article, then Snapchat has made a final decision based on its system review or user reports. In such cases, your only option is to try contacting Snapchat Support: 1. Go to the official *Snapchat Support* page: [https://support.snapchat.com](https://support.snapchat.com) 2. Tap on *“Contact Us”* 3. Select *“I can’t access my account”* *“I see an error message when I log in”* *“My account has been locked”* 4. Choose the appropriate response, then tap *“Yes”* when asked if you still need help 5. Fill out the form with accurate details including username, email, and a description of the issue Explain your case clearly and honestly—especially if you believe your account was locked by mistake. Snapchat Support may reach out via email, though responses for permanently locked accounts are rare and often result in denial. If Snapchat determines that your account violated their *Terms of Service* or *Community Guidelines**, they are unlikely to reverse the lock. If that’s the case, your best option may be to **create a new Snapchat account* and ensure you follow all app rules going forward.
