What Are the Ways to Add Someone on Snapchat?
There are several methods to add someone on Snapchat which we’ll go over in detail below:
Search by usernameAdd them from your phone’s contact listScan their SnapcodeSubscribe to users by finding them on a map
Add People By Username
If you know the person’s username, you can add them on Snapchat by searching for it.
Add People From Your Contacts
Your phone already holds your friends’ phone numbers and email addresses, so it’s a great way to connect with them on Snapchat, too. You can add someone as a friend this way if their profile includes their number or email, and you have that same information stored in your phone.
Add People By Snapcode
Snapcodes are images resembling QR codes. They are unique for every Snapchat user because they contain each person’s username. They can be scanned for an easy way to share contact information. There are two ways to scan a Snapcode, depending on whether the image is or isn’t stored on your phone:
Find Nearby Snapchatters With Snap Map
Although it’s not the same as becoming friends, you can also subscribe to people around you that you find on Snap Map. This is a great way to find other users in the same area as you, but it works only if the other user has a Snapchat Public Profile. If the image is saved on your phone, tap the add friend icon at the top, and then tap the Snapcode icon to the right of the search box. Choose the image.
Why You Can’t Add Someone on Snapchat
If after following the above steps, you’re unable to add someone as a friend, there are a few possible reasons:
The account no longer exists. If the user recently deleted their account, the username might appear as if it can be interacted with to the point you can add them as a friend. This is temporary, and the username will disappear after you log out and back in to the app. You’ve been blocked by that user. You can’t add someone as a friend if you’re on their block list. Here’s how to know if someone has blocked you on Snapchat. You’ve reached a limit. Snapchat says the limit to the number of friends you can have is a big number, but it’s still possible to reach it. Deleting some of your friends will fix this.
