Title. I have had snapchat for a long time, but now, when i want to record with video in the app its self, the video preview has no sound coming from it. I have tried muting/unmuting the sound, turning my ringer on, raising the volume, etc. and still doesnt work. I use phantom for snapchat and whenever i take a video from my camera app and import it into snapchat, the audio works fine. Is there any fix to this? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I forgot to mention I am using an iPhone 5, with iOS 7.1.2
EDIT 2: FIXED! Realized I had another tweak that let's you play music while recording in any app, so that's what caused the microphone problem.

Oh no! Your account has been locked.
When your Snapchat account is temporarily locked, you will see the above notification when trying to log in Snapchat on iPhone or Android. So how long will your Snapchat be temporarily locked? And what you should do to unlock a Snapchat account? If Snapchat won't unlock your account, how to unlock a permanently locked snapchat account? This guide will give you all the answers.
Part 1: Why is Your Snapchat Account Locked?
Before you are able to unlock your account, you should know why Snapchat is locking your account. There are 4 possible reasons why a Snapchat account could get locked.
Reason 1: Change birthday on Snapchat
Why Does My Snapchat Say Im Screen Recording When I'm Not
Snapchat only allows you to change your birthday a limit number of time. If you change your date of birth too many times on Snapchat, your account could be locked. Also, Snapchat is limited to 13 year olds and older. If you accidentally change your date of birth to 12 years old or lower, you can also get locked out of Snapchat.
Reason 2: Use a third-party app, plug-in, or tweak with Snapchat
Snapchat forbid any third-party app, plug-in to access its service. If you have used your username and password to access Snapchat via a third-party app, such as a Snap photos saver, Snapchat can detect the unauthorized activity and lock your account. And if you continue to use the third-party apps, your Snapchat account could be permanently locked.
Reason 3: Add too many new friends

Snapchat needs you to verify your email address and phone number so that it can identify your identity. It doesn't allow you to add too many friends before you verify your email address or phone number, especially you are using a new account.
Reason 4: Abusive behavior
Snapchat prohibits accounts that send spam or distribute adult content, illegal content, violence, etc. So you should be very careful about the snaps and messages that you send and avoid sending any contents that is against Snapchat's community guidelines.
