Snapchat team is blocking who uses third-party app

I got the email a couple weeks ago and nothing became of it but then I switched to my new m8 and got locked. Changed my password and got it back.

Snapchat - 0

I use windows phone since I am a developer and this kind of phone suits my need perfectly!

Accounts been locked.

Changed password, and I'm back!

A shame, really.

Curious. I have the real Snapchat App on my Nexus Tablet. Wonder if that will keep me from getting hassled...

Can you use multiple devices with one Snapchat account?

Can you use multiple devices with one Snapchat account?

You can, you just have to log in everytime you switch devices.

We will see. It might because it would be harder for them to notice.

Well... Managed to get locked out. Not sure how the now API was supposed to help, but I'll stay away from snapchat until this silliness is resolved.

As has been said above, you can simply change your Snapchat password on Snapchat's website (you can even change it to the password you already had) and everything will work fine yet again.

The question becomes, will the banhammer fall again?

will the banhammer fall again?

If changing your password allows you to keep logging in on a 3rd party app, it's not really a banhammer, is it?

I think the question becomes, "will the banhammer actually fall?"

Weird, I just got my email from Snapchat today.

 

[T1Cybernetic]

Just got the email Changed my password and all is well in the universe once again!

It seems to me that it's a safety check designed to make sure you are who you say you are, And that is all...

All i keep doing is Tweeting them.

Saying to them please create a Windows Phone App.

(doubt it will make any difference but who knows)

I got the email so I sent them one back telling them untill they bring out an official app I will continue to use the app as its from a trusted developer.

I got my second warning yesterday, changed my password, now it says failed to connect everytime I try an log in. However, my account works on alternative apps. Anyone having similar problems?

There ya go; let them know who's in the driver's seat here!

So they sent me a generic email and this is what I sent.

As I said in my original message I will continue to use the 6snap app untill you bring out an official app for windows phone. 6snap is from a trusted developer who has worked with Microsoft on several projects and is trusted by windows Phone users all over the world. Rudy huyn has users best interests at heart and understands the importance of user security. He made the app because you (snapchat) have decided not to recognize windows phone as a platform. Not everyone uses IOS or android.

What will actually happen is that you will continue to use the 6snap app until Snapchat bans you permanently.
