Hi @Gandhi4,

 

I completely understand how frustrating it must be when essential features like snapping aren't working as expected. Could you please share the version of InDesign you're using and the details of your operating system? 

 

In the meantime, try resetting your InDesign preferences by holding down 'Shift+Option+Command+Control' while starting InDesign. Reference: https://adobe.ly/3BPvq7K

 

Also, check if toggling 'View > Grids & Guides > Snap to Guides' and ensuring 'Smart Guides' is enabled helps.

 

Let us know if this improves things! We’re here to help.

 

Thanks, 

Abhishek Rao

Go to the View menu > Guides and grids and check if “Snap to document grid” is ticked. If it is, untick it.
