Hey guys,
Sorry for the long post! A few days ago, I (256 GB AT&T iPhone 7, iOS 11.2.5, non-jailbreak) downloaded the new Snapchat update. As you all know, the new update is an absolute disgrace to humanity, so I deleted the app. I tried using Impactor 0.9.4.3 to load Snapchat++, but it wouldn’t let me, so I uninstalled Airwatch, turned off my passcode and location services, and tried again; Snapchat++ installed successfully this time when I dragged and dropped into Impactor. I reinstalled Airwatch and turned my passcode/location services back on and it kept working fine. Today, I realized that the version of Snapchat++ I installed lacks some features that Snapchat added recently (multiple filters, etc.), so I deleted it and downloaded one of ghay's old IPAs from FilePup. That worked but didn't have the features I was looking for, so I deleted again and tried installed SCOthman from iosninja. When I opened SCOthman, I saw a popup from SCOthman's developer thanking me for installing, but when I signed in, to my surprise, I saw an interface that looked exactly like the new update. I tried installing the previous version of SCOthman and the same thing happened. I deleted Airwatch and turned off passcode and location services again, then tried installing Phantom on airplane mode. Same thing—ad from Phantom, but interface same as the latest official Snapchat version. (At sometime around here I got an error message from Impactor telling me there was some kind of pending developer request for my account, so I just used a different Apple ID and it sideloaded the app without a hitch.) Then I tried TweakBox and the same thing happened with the interface (except either Snapchat++ or SCOthman wouldn't let me login though, don't remember which). I deleted TweakBox and tried reinstalling the same Snapchat++ IPA that I used before again, but I got the new interface both times. The latest thing I tried was the old Snapchat version; this time, I can log in, see snaps I have recently sent, and view Discover news stories, but I can't see any of my friends' stories. What exactly is going on and why are both the new interface from the official app and the ads from the tweaked apps showing up?
Thanks,
Psu

Update: Just tried installing an old APK on my Samsung tablet and I'm getting the new interface there too. Same in BlueStacks.
