Snapchat, the disappearing photo-sharing app that took 2013 by storm, went down today for more than 30 minutes.
According to reports on Twitter, the service is sending snaps, but not delivering them to the end recipient.
Down Detector, a site that shows app performance reports, shows a huge spike in service issue reports since approximately 1pm ET.
We’ve tested service performance of the app internally at TechCrunch, and none of our snaps seem to be going through.
TechCrunch has reached out directly to Snapchat for comment, but haven’t yet received a response. We’ll update the post as soon as we know more.
EVERYONE! SNAPCHAT IS DOWN!! THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!

Update: 1:47pm ET Because life just happens that way, Snapchat seems to be working again.
