How to Fix Snapchat Video Recording Not Working? [Answered]

Hi there!

Snapchat video recording is not working for several reasons such as app errors, insufficient permissions and insufficient storage space. But that's not the point. If you've already tried restarting your phone, uninstalling and reinstalling Snapchat and it still doesn't work, we're here to provide some other methods for you to try:

1. Check for App Updates

First, you can go to your device's app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) to see if Snapchat has an available update and then install it.

2. Clear Cache

Clearing the Snapchat cache can resolve various issues. Android devices can go to Settings > Apps > Snapchat > Storage.

3. Check Permissions

Moreover, please ensure Snapchat has access to your camera and microphone use. You can access your phone Settings and find Snapchat for permissions.

4. Check for Device Updates

Phone updates could also affect Snapchat not recording video, so make sure your device's operating system is up to date.
