Hello!
I decided to use Bluestack to try and use Snapchat on my PC (mine is running windows 10.) I followed this article and came up with a problem regarding actually logging in. It keeps saying “Oops something went wrong,” everytime I try to login. I looked up what this issue might be and Google told me it might be something regarding Snapchat knowing I’m using an emulator. If there is anyway to fix this please let me know! Should I just try another emulator?
You can try Change the Bluestack (Older or newer version) or the Snapchat version or Use an older version of Snapchat. If it is not helpful, please mail us at admin@itechhacks.com We shall consider your issue and will definitely work on it.
