Anyone who uses Snapchat has probably used the front-facing flash to take a sneaky night-time selfie.
So it’s easy to see why the latest update – which has seemingly ‘broken’ the feature – is causing people grief.
The worst thing about it is that the flash still seems to work. Users have claimed that it goes off as normal, only for the resulting pictures to be pitch-black when the time comes to check them out.
People have reacted in a nice, measured manner. No, wait, the opposite of that.

There’s no need to panic, though – Snapchat have said they’re working on fixing it.
