That’s why some people find they can’t log in to a brand-new account on the same phone. Snapchat’s terms don’t allow getting around a ban, so the honest route is an appeal, not a workaround.

What’s the difference between a Snapchat device ban and an account ban?
Short answerAn account ban or lock stops one account from logging in, on any phone. A device ban (often shown with support code SS06) blocks Snapchat on that particular phone, so even a different account may not work on it. Only Snapchat can review either one.
