If your Snapchat account has been permanently locked or banned, creating a new account can be tricky. To avoid getting your new account immediately locked, your best bet is to create it on a different phone or other mobile device from your previous account. If your account is blocked because you live in a region where Snapchat is banned, you can get around the block with a VPN. We’ll also talk you through a few methods you can try to get your old account unlocked.
Things You Should Know
- The best way to get around a Snapchat ban is to make a new Snapchat on a different phone.
- Install a VPN to get around regional bans on Snapchat.
- Before creating a new account, see if you can get your old account unlocked.
- Make sure there are no unauthorized third-party Snapchat apps or plugins on your device.

Social Media Security ExpertRecovering a deleted Snapchat account can be pursued through two avenues. Firstly, within the initial 30 days of deactivation, reactivation is possible. Accessing Snapchat settings provides an option for reactivation. Alternatively, after 30 days when the account is permanently deleted, contacting Snapchat support becomes essential. To initiate this process, visit snapchat.com/support, navigate to the Contact Us section, and select relevant options like "I can't access my account" or "I think my account was compromised." Submitting an appeal detailing the situation and requesting assistance is the subsequent step. - QuestionCan I view a blocked Snapchat account by using a VPN?Naveh Ben DrorNaveh Ben Dror is a Social Media Security Expert and the CEO of Spikerz based in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Social Media Security ExpertUsing a VPN does not grant you the ability to view a blocked Snapchat account. The blocking functionality on Snapchat operates independently of your internet connection. While a virtual private network (VPN) is designed to mask your IP address and secure your internet connection, it does not alter the operation of Snapchat's blocking feature. If someone has blocked you on Snapchat, using a VPN will not provide you access to their account or messages. The blocking mechanism is unique to the Snapchat application and cannot be circumvented by the use of a VPN.
