Snapchat is having a rough Friday. The app was down in parts of North America as well as Europe, accruing as many as 21,175 outage reports, according to Down Detector.

In a now deleted tweet, @SnapchatSupport stated that the company was looking into reports of outages. Though the issue may have been promptly resolved, another problem has reared its head. Users are reporting that they’re being logged out of the app with no ability to successfully log back in.

Yet again, Snapchat said it was looking into it.

Needless to say, many users aren’t happy or that hopeful.
