So if you’re a Snapchat user, chances are you’ve gotten the new update. Unfortunately, most people, including myself, can’t stand the new layout. Everything is switched around and so hard to find! Snapchat has been getting numerous complaints through other social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, however Snapchat has said it’s impossible to change the app back to an older version. But don’t worry just yet! I’ve found three ways to reverse the update, thanks to two kind Youtubers. Good luck and I hope this works for you!

This is probably the easiest way to get the old Snap back! Youtuber and technology geek, King Flare shows you step by step directions in his video which has almost 24,000 views within the past 48 hours!
