Troubleshooting Snapchat Download Issues on Rooted Pixel 7 with Magisk

This guide addresses issues with Snapchat downloads on a rooted Pixel 7 running Android 15 (December 2024 update) using Magisk, Zygisk, and Snapenhance. The user reports an absence of the download button in friend's snaps despite having Opera download enabled in settings. There's also no indication of auto-downloads or corresponding log entries.

The user has attempted reinstalling both Snapchat and Snapenhance, as well as trying a patched version of Snapchat (Snapchat-12.81.0.44-PrePatch.apk), which abruptly closes upon opening.

**Here's what we know:**

* **Device:** Rooted Pixel 7
* **Android Version:** Android 15 (December 2024 update)
* **Root Method:** Magisk
* **Modules:** Zygisk v1.9.3_mod (7244), Snapenhance 2.0.1
* **Snapchat Version:** 12.81.0.44
* **Issue:** Missing download button in friend snaps, no auto-downloads, no related logs

**Potential Causes:**

* **Snapchat incompatibility with root/Magisk:** Snapchat might have detection mechanisms that prevent download functionality when rooting is detected.
* **Snapenhance conflict:** While Snapenhance aims to enhance Snapchat, it could inadvertently interfere with download features.

* **Corrupted app data:**

Reinstallation attempts haven't resolved the issue, suggesting potentially corrupted app data remnants.
* **December update conflict:** The recent December update might have introduced changes conflicting with Snapchat's download behavior.

**Troubleshooting Steps:**

1. **Disable Snapenhance:** Temporarily disable Snapenhance to rule out a conflict. If downloads work, it indicates a Snapenhance issue.
2. **Clear Snapchat Cache and Data:** Force-stop Snapchat and clear both cache and data from App Settings.
3. **Try an Older Snapchat Version:** If possible, experiment with an older Snapchat version known to be compatible with rooted devices.
4. **Check for Magisk Modules Impact:** Investigate Magisk modules that modify system behavior, especially those related to permissions or app behavior. They could be interfering with Snapchat's downloads.

**Note:** Rooted devices often require more manual troubleshooting. Proceed with caution as modifying system files can potentially damage your device.
