how to report blackmail on snapchat?

[Raqes]

I recently got a threatening message on Snapchat from someone claiming they have my private info and will share it unless I do what they ask. I’m feeling really stressed and unsure of what to do next. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? What’s the best way to report it to Snapchat.

If someone is blackmailing you on Snapchat, the first step you should take is to take screenshots of the messages. Then block the person and report them by holding the chat, selecting "Report," and then the applicable option. You could also ask Snapchat Support for assistance. If this is a serious issue, consider reporting it to the local authorities. Do not reply to the person but act quickly to protect yourself.

If you receive a threatening message on Snapchat: Don’t respond, screenshot for evidence, block the user, and report it via Snapchat’s chat options or support.snapchat.com. Also, update your privacy settings for safety.
