Snapchat users around the world have reported issues accessing the popular video and image sharing app.
A tweet on the Snapchat Support account said: "Hi! Some Snapchatters are currently experiencing loading issues. Our team is aware of the problem and working on a fix now!"
However, the problem appeared to not just be confined to the app failing to load.
Other users reporting difficulties signing into the service as well as sending and receiving messages.
The tracking service Down Detector, which monitors websites and online services for outages, indicated the majority of reported problems were being experienced in Europe - although this could be because of the time of day in other parts of the world where the app is used.
Some took to Twitter to report the problems.
Felicia tweeted: "#Snapchat is down worldwide.. Which means my procrastination app has ceased and I have no choice but to complete my assignment."
Another user said in a post: "My neighbour started screaming next door and i thought she was getting murdered but then i heard her yellin about snapchat being down."
Another person tweeted: "So since snapchat is down does this mean I have to actually go out an socialise with people now?"
Dee Kosh was more stoic in the face of the outage, saying: "Yes Yes snapchat is down. get over it."
Earlier this year, Snapchat said it had 100 million users of its free smartphone app.
