Come on guys, give Snapchat some slack. The new update does offer some pretty cool features when it works! I agree they need to fix this ASAP, but let's not burn them down altogether. Some things are worth waiting for...

Huh, well that's what you get for setting your hopes high with Snapchat. They release buggy updates like a tradition 😏

This isn't the first time Snapchat has rolled out an update that gave users headaches. There have been several instances before this of updates causing numerous problems, from issues with notifications to causing the app itself to crash.

It's pretty standard practice for Snapchat to rapidly follow damaging updates with optimization patches to smooth out the problems. It's likely we’ll see another update in a few days that fixes the lag issue if it’s a wide spread problem. Remember, patience is key in the tech world! Or just rolling back to the old version...

Lmaooo everyone complaining about their Snapchat camera lagging meanwhile I'm sitting here with my Nokia 3310 snapping with my mind💁

Man, I feel your pain... 😩 I had to switch back to my mobile camera. The upgrade lagging made my snaps look like they'd been filmed on a potato 😂 #epicfail

Hi. I've noticed that the new Snapchat camera upgrade does indeed cause lag for specific older models of phones. It's because of the high resolution the new upgrade supports.

This problem should be temporary as the Snapchat dev team is usually pretty quick with optimization improvements in the subsequent updates. It's also always a good idea to ensure that your phone's software is up to date and that you have sufficient memory available.

However, it can also be affected by other ongoing processes on your phone, background apps, or even thermal throttling if your phone has been under a high workload. Start with checking this, Snapchat is not the only hungry app out there! Remember to clear Snapchat cache too.

Well, um, mine's working fine? Maybe check if your phone's the prob? Lol just saying, that update made my snaps 🔥
