SS18, SS06, SS07 Errors on Snapchat: What You Need to Know

What Do Snapchat Error Codes SS18, SS06, and SS07 Mean?

If you’re encountering error codes SS18, SS06, or SS07 on Snapchat, your device has likely been banned. Snapchat employs these bans as a safety measure to protect its community from suspicious activity or violations of its Community Guidelines. Here’s a breakdown of what these error codes mean and what you can do if you encounter them.

Understanding Snapchat Device Bans

SS18 and SS06 Error Codes

• Cause: These errors appear when a device is banned due to abuse or repeated violations of Snapchat’s Community Guidelines.
• Impact: You will not be able to log in or create new accounts using the banned device.

SS07 Error Code

• Cause: This error occurs when Snapchat detects too many accounts associated with a single device.
• Impact: Logging in or creating new accounts from the device is blocked.

Why Does Snapchat Ban Devices?

Snapchat bans devices to:

1. Maintain Safety: Prevent misuse or suspicious activity that might harm the community.
2. Enforce Guidelines: Ensure users adhere to its Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

What You Can Do

Accessing Your Snapchat Data

Even if your device is banned, you can still access your account data by following these steps:

1. Log in: Use a desktop to log into your account at accounts.snapchat.com.
2. Navigate to ‘My Data’: Click the ‘My Data’ tab.
3. Select Data: Choose the data you wish to download, along with the desired date range.
4. Submit Request: Confirm your email and click ‘Submit’.
5. Download Data: Once your data is ready, you’ll receive an email with a download link. You can also view your recent exports on the website.

Creating a New Account

• Important: Snapchat bans prevent the creation of new accounts on the affected device. Attempting to bypass this restriction may result in further bans.
• Alternative: Use a different, unbanned device to create a new account if necessary.

Can Snapchat Unban Your Device?

Unfortunately, Snapchat Support cannot reverse device bans. These bans are applied to maintain community safety and enforce platform guidelines.

How to Avoid Device Bans

1. Follow Community Guidelines: Avoid activities like spamming, abusive behavior, or violating Snapchat’s policies.
2. Limit Accounts: Refrain from associating multiple accounts with a single device.
3. Use Verified Devices: Log in and create accounts only on secure and trustworthy devices.

Summary

Error codes SS18, SS06, and SS07 indicate that your device has been banned by Snapchat due to policy violations or excessive account activity. While Snapchat does not unban devices, users can access their data or use an unbanned device to continue using the platform.

To avoid bans in the future, adhere to Snapchat’s Community Guidelines and use the platform responsibly.
