The steps to regaining access to your Snapchat account

The Snapchat website has a specific web page for account deactivation, which can be found at Snapchat.com. Your Snapchat account will be deactivated for 30 days after you have entered your credentials to confirm account deactivation with the app.

If you change your mind about deleting your account within those 30 days, you can choose to have it revived at no additional cost. Snapchat, on the other hand, will completely delete your account after 30 days.

Reactivating your Snapchat account via the Snapchat mobile application

1. Sign in to Snapchat with your username and password.
2. The number of days remaining until the deletion of your Snapchat account will be displayed prior to logging in to the application. If you want to proceed with restoring your account, select Yes from the menu.
3. An extra notification will appear, asking you to please wait a few moments while the reactivation process is completed. In the event that you have authenticated your Snapchat account using your email address, you will receive a confirmation message. Tap OK to confirm that you want to wait for your account to become accessible before logging in again.

Trying to figure out when your Snapchat account will be reactivated

Reactivating an account on Snapchat can take up to 24 hours. Reactivating accounts with a large amount of data (friends, debates, chats, and Memories) may take the longest.

If you requested deletion of your account and then tried to reactivate it quickly, Snapchat may not have completed the deactivation process. Deleted accounts must be confirmed via email, which you should have received if your email address was validated.

If you’ve tried everything above and are still unable to log into your Snapchat account after 24 hours, you can contact Snapchat customer service.
