Snapchat down: Snaps and chats with "could not send" error

We start the day this Friday morning with a disruption at Snapchat. Snapchat seems to be down in parts at the moment, so sending and receiving snaps and messages is currently not working at all.
Snapchat is always experiencing glitches, errors or problems. This is also the case today, where outgoing snaps and messages display the error message "Could not be sent" and it continues to go wrong even after trying again.
Snapchat down: Messages and snaps don't send
Other content is currently on Snapchat proeasily accessible. For example, stories can be viewed and created. New friends can also be added. So currently only the message function or only chats seems to be disturbed. Unfortunately, it is currently only possible to wait for a fault clearance. We in the editorial department were able to reproduce the error on all devices, and numerous users also report on Twitter at #SnapchatDown of a problem.
Logging out or restarting the smartphone does not help. Both Android and iOS devices are affected.
We will keep you up to date.
