While trying to adjust to the new operating system on your iPhone, apps that were performing flawlessly before the iOS 13 update installation are frequently experiencing glitches.

We’ll look at these issues and show how to remedy them as there are many things that might prevent Snapchat from downloading on your iPhone.

Here are a couple of reasons to consider:

1. Restart Your iPhone

You should restart your iPhone as soon as possible. Most likely, the issue is only momentary, and a straightforward restart typically does wonders.

Go to App Store > Your Profile > Pending Updates and try upgrading Snapchat manually if you have Snapchat installed but it won’t update.

Try removing the app from your device and downloading it again from the App Store.
Check the network if that is unsuccessful.

2. Check Network Connectivity

The simplest method to verify this right now is to launch any internet-dependent application and see if it functions as intended.

Better still, go to the App Store and download any other app to be sure the problem is exclusive to Snapchat.

If it does, continue with the steps below. Check the advice we’ve provided here to fix any Wi-Fi connectivity problems you may have with your iPhone.

3. Check Payment Method

Unless you choose to opt out when creating a new iTunes account, the Apple App Store needs a legitimate payment method in order to function.

However, you won’t be able to download any applications, including those that are free.

If your payment method is invalid or unavailable. It won’t use some arbitrary debit card credentials.

A smart place to begin is by creating a new account without selecting any Payment Methods (simply choose None).

Just Sign Out of App Store and try getting Snapchat. You’ll be prompted to Log In or create a new AppleID.

Do the latter and, when prompted for the preferred Payment Method, choose None.

If you want to add a valid Payment Method, navigate to App Store > Your Profile > Your AppleID > Manage Payments.

Have in mind that the supported payment methods are not the same for all regions.

Also, have in mind that you can usually only use a debit card issued in the country/region which you set as your AppleID country/region.

Extra Tip: A trick you can use is to change the region along with the address (some random address will do).

This is especially useful if there are certain region-based limitations for certain apps or other purchasable content.
