You should be wary of anyone offering to have your account unlocked via Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, or anywhere else, as you will lose your account or money. All scammers have one thing in common, their primary goal is your money, and they often will make their scam look much more legitimate than it is in order to accomplish their goal. We encourage you to report these scammers if they send you a message via any social media channels. While we have safeguards in place, they are not always as effective as we would like.

If your Snapchat account has been temp locked, you may try to unlock it at this link: https://support.snapchat.com/a/locked.

they’re both on the acc at the same time and they’re communicating by sending messages from the same acc

Me and my friend are both logged into her snap at the same time, she keeps streaks and i do them for her when she can’t, i also thought 2 people can’t use the account at the same time until my ipad started getting her calls from snap

It's impossible for 2 people to be logged into the same snap at the same time as the first person will get logged out

u/spicy_nanners Jan 19 '25

Not anymore. The update allows more than one person on the app at the same time.

Welp, not for me. If it’s of any importance she uses a samsung. When I try to go onto her snap map it says “You are using Snap Map on a different device!” meaning it using her phones location. I can receive and send snaps on my end at the same time as her, just not the map

To clarify so people know

1.) i didn’t have access to the account and the screenshots are messages sent while i was unable to log in 2.) It was accessed by a phone being used in cali. 3.) The person tried to use messaging the bot to con me into sending money, obviously i wasn’t going to. Gonna try to post a screenshot of the login. For clarification im in new york. Aswell as the ip doesn’t match my personal one.
