Stop adding people
More adds extend the problem.
Home / Snapchat account help
Snapchat locked your account after adding many people at once?
Adding lots of people in a short time can look like spam, even when you are growing a following.
Snapchat can lock an account that adds many people in a short time, because it looks like automated or spam behaviour. Stop adding, wait for any period named, log in once, and use the support form for your lock type. If you run a business or creator profile, say so and explain how people usually find you.
Slow down later
Grow your list gradually once the account is back.
Explain how you grow
A short, honest explanation helps the appeal.
What usually sits behind it
- Many adds in a short time.
- Heavy use of suggested adds all day.
- Adding contacts from a long list.
- A new account with sudden activity.
What to do
- Stop adding and wait for the stated period.
- Log in once from the official app.
- Use the support form and explain how people find you.
- Send us the message if the lock stays.
What to send
- Your Snapchat username.
- A screenshot of the lock or ban message, with the date visible.
- Which phone number or email is on the account (just which one, never a code).
- What phone you use and what happened before it started.
Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.

Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.

My name on Instagram was taken by some random inactive account, so I couldn't use it. Unbanz claimed it within a week, so if you need help with usernames, they're highly recommended.
Updated November 2026
Snapchat locks and bans are handled through Snapchat Support forms. A temporary lock usually ends on its own; permanent bans and device bans need the support form. All official links: Snapchat support links directory.
Can I unlock Snapchat by making a new account?
Not while the device is banned. New accounts on the same device can be locked too.
What to send us
- The username or profile link.
- A screenshot of the exact notice, with the date visible.
- Whether you already appealed, and what Snapchat replied.
- Whether you still have the email and phone number on the account.
- Never your password or login codes.
Send it on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Is using suggested adds risky?
Heavy use in a short time can be.
Does it matter for creators?
Creators are held to the same rules, so grow gradually.
Can I add people again later?
Yes, once restored, but slowly.
Do I need to share my Snapchat password?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from your public username, the notice and the details you send. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz about a locked or banned Snapchat account?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
