Big Tech’s latest beating? Snapchat crashed this morning just nine days after Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp experienced major outages.
Early this morning, Snapchat lost the ability to send/receive messages or post, according to complaints from tens of thousands of users.
The company still hasn’t commented on the cause of the outage. A Snap spokesperson did say “the issue has been resolved” later in the day. The crash wasn’t as severe as Facebook’s, as Snap maintained some of its functionality.
Facebook’s outage last week cost the company a whopping $65 million — during Facebook’s outage, Snapchat usage skyrocketed 23%.
