Snapchat is not working on your Wi-Fi? Snapchat, just like all the social media apps, doesn’t need a Wi-Fi connection to work. It is affirmative that streaming videos on higher resolution or smooth scrolling through the snaps can become easier if you are on Wi-Fi. These fixes can be helpful sorting this out.

The Low Data mode on your iPhone can interfere with the otherwise normal Snapchat app services on Wi-Fi.

Step 2 – Next, open the “Wi-Fi” settings in there.
Here, you will see the list of Wi-Fi networks present in the proximity of your iPhone.
Step 3 – Now, you have to tap the tiny “i” button or ‘Information’ option beside the SSID (name) of the Wi-Fi that you are currently connected to.
Step 4 – Look whether the “Low Data Mode” is enabled on your iPhone. If that is the case, you must turn off the “Low Data Mode” option.
Return to the Snapchat app. Scroll through the Snaps and videos for a few minutes. Finally, you can use the Snapchat on the Wi-Fi network once again.
