Step 1. Contact Snapchat

The first thing you need to do is to access the “Contact us” form on Snapchat.

Your account is not accessible even if you have reset your password, you have to contact Snapchat support to get help.

Otherwise, your account will not be opened.

First of all, visit Google and search for “Snapchat Support”.

After that, click on the first search result that has the title of, “Snapchat Support”.

On the other hand, you can click on this URL to go there directly: https://support.snapchat.com/en-US.

After reaching the Snapchat Support website, there will be multiple categories.

The categories are “Using Snapchat”, “Snapstreaks”, “My Account is Hacked”, and so on.

You need to use the category of your problem.

On the other hand, you can contact Snapchat for help.

At the bottom of the categories, a “Contact Us” button will be available.

To contact them, you need to tap on the “Contact Us” button.

On the other hand, you can use this direct link to use the contact form: https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/i-need-help.

Step 2. Select the category of your issue

After tapping on the “Contact Us” button, it will take you to the “Contact Us” page.

There are a couple of headers on the page.

The headers are “What can we help you with?” and “Oh no! Tell us more…”.

First of all, you have to choose the category of your issue.

It can be done by choosing the appropriate category under the “What can we help you with?” header.

Since you are not able to access your Snapchat account, choose the “I can’t access my account” option.

Secondly, you have to choose the sub-category of your problem.

You can choose the right category under the “Oh no! Tell us more…” header.

Choose the “I think my account was hacked” option as you will be able to get in touch with Snapchat.

After selecting the “I think my account was hacked” option, it will expand the form.

To submit the form, you need to complete 4 additional fields.

The fields you need to complete are “Username”, “Email”, “Mobile Number”, and “What information should we know?”.

First of all, in the “Username” field, you need to put your Snapchat username.

Ensure that you do not use spaces.

After that, in the “Email” field, add your email address.

You need to ensure that you use the same email address that is linked to your Snapchat account.

The next step is to provide your mobile number in the “Mobile Number” field.

In the “Mobile Number” field, you have to use your country code too (e.g. +1-202-555-1234).

After that, you have to describe the issue that you’re experiencing in the “What information should we know?” field.

Use this as an inspiration for a description, “Hi Snapchat, I’m facing an “It looks like your account may have been compromised” error when I try logging in to my account”.

Accompanied by, “I’ve been unable to log in to my account since then. I need help in fixing this”.

Step 3. Submit the form & wait for Snapchat’s response

After completing the form, you have to send it.

To submit the form to Snapchat, you need to scroll down to the bottom and tap on “Send” to submit it.

You might have to complete a reCAPTCHA to send the form.

After submitting the form, you need to wait to get a response from Snapchat.

Snapchat can send you a reply in 1 to 3 business days.

To check the response from them, you have to go through your email inbox frequently.

If successful, you will get instructions from Snapchat on your next steps.

To regain access to your Snapchat account, you have to follow the instructions in the email.

That’s it. I hope that you know how to fix the “Oh no! It looks like your account is compromised” error on Snapchat!
