Account lock vs device ban
An account lock follows the account: you can’t log in to it anywhere. A device ban follows the phone: Snapchat refuses that device, whichever account you try.
What SS06 usually means
People widely report SS06 as the code for a device-level block. Snapchat doesn’t publish a full list of codes, so treat this as a common pattern rather than an official definition. More on SS06.
Why it happens
- Unofficial or modified Snapchat apps on the phone.
- Several accounts on the same phone being locked.
- Activity that looks automated.
- A second-hand phone that was blocked before you bought it.
What you can do
- Contact Snapchat Support and explain your situation.
- If you bought the phone second-hand, say so and include proof of purchase.
- Remove any unofficial apps or tweaks.
- Wait for a reply, and don’t pay anyone who says they can reset a device ban.
Meanwhile
Losing Snapchat usually means losing a habit: the quick wide selfie video, music on, posted every day. You can keep that habit going without Snapchat. Your iPhone’s own camera can widen the front view (iPhone 11 and later), and Music Wide Selfie is an iPhone camera built for exactly this: the widest front view your iPhone has, with your music still playing, saved straight to your Photos. Here’s how to keep filming.
