The step by step guide to adding friends on Snapchat

Snapchat is currently one of the most popular social networking apps on the market. The notion of vanishing photos has really taken off with the general public, and the incorporation of additional filters and creative video formatting options has allowed the humble app to compete with the big guns in the social media game.

Snapchat has evolved over the years, and it has also partnered with some major music labels to allow users to add sponsored audio content to their snaps to make them more appealing. Another new Snapchat feature is the monetization option, and while it is not as major as the YouTube partner program, it appears that Snapchat now wants to allow users to earn money through their snaps.

The friends’ list is one of the features that contribute to Snapchat’s popularity. The more buddies you have snapping at you, the more enjoyable the experience. The first thing you should learn is how to add new pals to your Snap List in order to start a snap streak with a few more people.

In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to add friends to Snapchat.

Disclaimer – We are using Snapchat for iOS, but the same steps are applicable for the Android app as well.

Step 1. Open the Snapchat app on your smartphone.

 

 

Step 2. On the home page, tap on your profile icon which is usually found on the top left-hand side.

 

 

Step 3. In your profile, scroll down and tap on the ‘Add Friends’ button.

 

 

You will now see two lists – One list will show you the Snapchat users who have added you as a friend. You can add them back if you want to.

 

 

Next, you will see a list of people from your phone contacts, who are on Snapchat. You can add them as your friend.

 

 

Finally, if you want to add a user to your Snapchat who is not on your phone contacts list, you can simply look for them on Snapchat by typing their name or Snapchat username in the search field. Just be careful not to add completely unknown people, as this can lead to misunderstandings. Have fun while remaining responsible on the platform.
