Like any other social network, Snapchat is also prone to cyber bullying and even though the company is consistently working towards solving the issue, these things do take time. If you’re being bullied by someone or think their profile and the content posted doesn’t fit the community standards, Snapchat offers an option to report an account or a snap by them.
Once you report an account, it’s sent to the Snapchat team and after the report has been reviewed, Snapchat takes appropriate steps from locking accounts temporarily to permanently.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of reporting a Snapchat account — your friend’s list too — and also how to report a snap on the platform.
