Snapchat may stop working after an Electra jailbreak, with the app potentially crashing or certain features not functioning. This can be due to Snapchat detecting the jailbreak, which can be fixed by installing NoSub, Jailprotect, xCode, tsProtect, SAC bypass, or Palbreak. Another solution is to use Filza to go into the icons folder of the theme and search for files/folders with picaboo in the title, which can be deleted. Alternatively, removing EclipseX from your device may resolve the issue.

If you're experiencing issues with the Snapchat camera after jailbreaking with Electra, one fix involves changing the local permissions for the Anemone.app file to 0775. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Install Anemone and Compress Themes Folder

Delete the snap icon theme image located in the theme folder
If you are facing issues with the Snapchat camera after jailbreaking with Electra, one solution is to delete the snap icon theme image located in the theme folder. This can be achieved by following these steps:
Firstly, ensure that you have Anemone installed on your device, with themes downloaded, installed, and activated. Anemone is likely the reason for the Snapchat camera issue. Next, using a file explorer application such as Filza File Manager, navigate to the "Library/Themes" folder.
Once you are in the "Themes" folder, locate the folder that contains the Snapchat icons. The folder name typically includes the term "picaboo". For example, the path could be "bootstrap/Library/Themes/NameOfTheme/icons/iconbundles/xxxx.picaboo.png".
After locating the Snapchat icon folder, proceed to delete it. Then, respring your device. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the Snapchat camera issue caused by the theme.
It is worth noting that this issue is related to the Anemone application and its themes. Therefore, uninstalling Anemone and removing all themes may also be a solution to consider. However, before uninstalling Anemone, it is recommended to compress the contents of the "Library/Themes" folder into a ZIP file. This way, if any themes or customizations are lost during the uninstallation process, they can be easily restored by uncompressing the ZIP file back into the "Themes" folder.

Install Snapchat++
Installing Snapchat++ is one of the ways to fix Snapchat after an Electra jailbreak. However, it seems that there is no definitive fix for the Snapchat++ Electra tweak, as some users have reported issues with the app crashing after pressing the "I don't agree" button.
Firstly, ensure that you have Anemone installed on your device, with themes downloaded, installed, and activated. Anemone is likely the cause of any problems with the Snapchat camera.
Next, use a file explorer app, such as Filza File Manager, to navigate to the "/Library/Themes" folder. Compress all the contents of this folder into a single ZIP file.
Then, on your computer, go to "Electra b11-3\Payload\electra.app\anemoneapp" and drag the "Anemone.app" file into the "/Applications" directory on your iPhone.
Now, on your device, use Filza to change the local permissions for the "Anemone.app" file to 0775. You will also need to locate the "Anemone" file within the "Anemone.app" directory and change these permissions to 0775 as well. Run uicache and respring your device to complete this process.
Finally, you may need to remove the Snapchat icon from your theme or rename/copy over an icon for Snapchat++. This is due to the glyph theme, and you can do this by deleting the snap icon theme image located in the theme folder.
Please note that while these steps should help you install Snapchat++, there is still no guarantee that it will work flawlessly with the Electra jailbreak. Some users have reported issues with Snapchat++ and Electra, and it may be challenging to achieve full functionality.
