1. Check your network connection

Snapchat My AI needs to communicate with Snapchat servers before it can respond to your requests. If Snapchat My AI fails to load up on your iPhone, there’s a chance that you may be facing some network-related issues that may prevent it from communicating effectively with the Snapchat servers.

If you want to avoid such issues on your iPhone, you must verify if cellular data or Wi-Fi is turned on before attempting to use Snapchat My AI again. However, if everything’s enabled, but you still keep facing the same issue, you should try restarting your iPhone to re-establish a network connection.

2. Force quit and restart Snapchat

Since My AI is a recently launched feature in Snapchat, it’s fairly common for it to run into unexpected glitches that might prevent it from working correctly. If you want to prevent such glitches, your best bet would be to force quit Snapchat and relaunch it.

  1. Open the App Switcher on your iPhone.
  2. Swipe up on the Snapchat app to close it.
  3. Then, reopen Snapchat to see if my AI is working again.

    Force quit and restart Snapchat

3. Try searching for My AI in chats

If you are a Snapchat+ subscriber, you get additional options to unpin My AI from the top of your other chats. In case you’ve enabled this option, you’ll have to manually search for My AI in chats, as shown in the steps below.

  1. Open Snapchat → Tap the Chat option from the navigation bar.
  2. Tap the Search button located beside your profile picture.
  3. Search for My AI → Tap the profile to start chatting.

4. Manually add My AI to Snapchat

In case you weren’t able to find My AI in chats, you can manually add My AI to Snapchat by visiting My AI’s Snapchat page and scanning its Snapcode, just like how one adds a friend to Snapchat by scanning their Snapcode.

  1. Go to snapchat.com/add/myai on any of your other devices.
  2. Open SnapchatScan the Snapcode found on the website.
  3. Tap the chat icon to start chatting with My AI.

5. Check Snapchat’s server status

If you can’t access Snapchat My AI on your iPhone, even after repeated attempts, there’s a possibility that Snapchat servers have gone offline for maintenance or are experiencing technical glitches due to heavy traffic.

If you’re unsure about Snapchat’s server status, you can use online tools like DownDetector.com to verify the current server status for Snapchat.

6. Clear My AI data and Snapchat cache

Like most other apps on your iPhone, Snapchat also creates cache files to load content faster. However, if these files are somehow corrupted, it can cause several Snapchat features, including My AI, to malfunction.

  2. Tap your profile picture in the top left corner.
  3. Tap the Settings option in the top right corner.

  6. Then, tap Clear CacheClear.

7. Sign out and sign in to Snapchat

Glitches with your Snapchat login credentials can also prevent My AI from working properly. If you think this is causing the issue on your iPhone, you can try signing out and logging in to see if that does the trick for you.

  2. Tap your profile picture in the top left corner.
  3. Tap the Settings option in the top right corner.
