The popular messaging application Snapchat first arrived in July 2011. It’s hard to believe we have been sending snaps to each other for almost a decade now!

Still going strong, the application has come a long way and offers heaps of helpful options from letting us store our favourite photos to the much loved “Stories” and “Discover” features.

Like a lot of apps that we download, from time to time it can experience some downtime. And for some us this is a worrying time, as sending snaps is one of the best ways to stay in contact and communicate with our friends.

So, what is the “Snapchat could not refresh” 2020 message? What is the error? And when will it be fixed?

Is Snapchat down in the UK?

Unfortunately, in a time when social media couldn’t be needed more, because of the current Coronavirus lockdown, Snapchat is down in April 2020.

On April 2nd, the social media app took to Twitter to say: “Whether it’s by communicating with loved ones, playing games with friends, or staying informed, we are grateful for the opportunity to help people stay in touch during this time. Stay safe, and thank you for following along.”

However, it looks as though this isn’t possible for the time being as the app is not functioning as of April 8th.

In response to the app being down, Snapchat Support wrote: “We’re aware many Snapchatters are having trouble using the app. Hang tight – we’re looking into it.”
