## About

Social media app for sharing ephemeral photos, videos, and stories

## Activity summary

Accessible in Syria, with messaging, photos and video confirmed working since February 2026. Phone number verification for Syrian numbers still fails, and a request to fix it has drawn no response.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-24 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Snapchat support requesting activation of phone-number verification for Syrian (+963) numbers, citing the lifted US and EU sanctions. No response has been recorded.
- 2026-02-16 — Verified. A community member confirmed the Snapchat app and website work fully from Syria — messaging, photos, videos, and the new Syrian flag all functioning. Phone verification for +963 numbers still fails with a suspicious-activity error.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
