Other app's logo or username (incl. TikTok watermark)
Snapchat may leave the video out of recommendations, so fewer people see it.
Last verified
What triggers it
A username shown with the name or logo of another social or messaging app, for example 'Follow me on IG @name' or a TikTok/Reels export watermark with an @handle.
What Snapchat says
“For example, a username paired with the name or logo of a different social media or messaging app.”
We last checked this against Snapchat's page on .
How to fix it
Export the original file without the watermark, and remove other-app handles from the video and caption.
Good to know
Check corners and the last seconds for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X or Telegram logos next to an @handle. A TikTok export watermark matches the page's example. Exception: crediting the original creator while adding your own transformative commentary.
