Snapchat is the best and easiest method to share snapshots of our daily life. Unlike other most photo sharing applications, such as Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat keeps things temporary. There is no feed and it does not give any way to view content from months and years ago. Instead, everything from the photos and videos you send your friends to the Stories you upload on Snapchat directly are temporary and that last for just twenty-four hours before disappearing forever. Although you can save content to your Memories in Snapchat to view or send it later, but that content remains visible only to you. However, like any other social network, you will need friends on Snapchat to make the platform fun. Snapchat encourages plethora of interacting with your friends list on the platform. You can create Snapchat streaks with your best friends by sending them a photo or video, you can use Bitmoji, or share your location using the map feature inside Snapchat and much more. Here, in this article, we will discuss how to make new friends on Snapchat.
Whether you are looking to find new friends, a specific person, or just want to meet new people on Snapchat, it can be quite tough to know where to look. Unlike Facebook, where it is easy to search for a person’s name, Snapchat uses usernames and other display names to hide real identities. If you’re trying to find someone on Snapchat, go through this guide on looking for people within Snapchat.

Adding Friends You Know on Snapchat
For most people, you are likely looking to add users you already know in real life, be it your friends, relatives, family, or co-workers. Here, we have discussed several methods to add friends you know, so that no matter whether you’re in person or a thousand miles away, you can add every one of your friends on Snapchat without any problem.
First Method: Snapcode
This is the easiest way if you happen to be in the same place as your friends. Just open the app, tap on your profile icon at the top-left corner, and you will see your Snapcode, a QR code-style utility designed to meet new people. With Snapcode open, have the friend who wants to add you open up the Snapchat on their phone, on the camera viewfinder and roll over your Snapcode. Doing so, your code will automatically activate the ability to add you on Snapchat, and you can accept their request from there.
Apart from that, you can also screenshot someone’s Snapcode, either through a messaging app or if that person shares it to you. You have to select the “Snapcode” tab from the “Add Friends” option in Snapchat, and then select that screenshot which has Snapcode in it. You will automatically gain access to the account of that person.
Second Method: Username
You can also add someone by their username. Just type their username into the box at the top of the page. In case, if someone has added you back, you can quickly and easily approve them by clicking on the “Added Me” option present at the top of the page.
Third Method: Contacts
Once you give Snapchat permission to access your contacts, you can view each of your friends who has their phone number synced in both your contacts and on Snapchat. You can add them quickly just by pressing a button.
Fourth Method: Links
At the profile page on Snapchat, look for the “Share” button to the right of Bitmoji and Trophies. You need to tap on Share, and you will be able to share your username and your Snapcode automatically. After tapping on Share Username, you can send a message, tweet, Facebook post and inform people to add you on Snapchat.
Note that selecting Share Snapcode does the same thing, but the difference is that it gives you a photo of your Snapcode instead of the link. Similarly, clicking on the link will let you easily add your friends and family, if they choose to share their account with you through these methods.
Fifth Method: Suggested Friends
On the first page, there is a “Add Friends” option and you can see a huge list of “Quick Add” suggestions. It gives you a list of suggested people that you may know, based on mutual friends, location, and other things. Click the “Quick Add” button to add them, and you will automatically send a request to add them on Snapchat without much effort.
Adding People You Don’t Know on Snapchat
Though this will likely be used by comparatively fewer people. However, it is worth noting that you can add people you don’t know in real life through Snapchat, just by looking in the right place. Whether you are looking to build out your friends list or you just want to add people you met in online communities, here is where you can look for new friends on Snapchat.
Find on Reddit
Snapchat subreddit or r/Snapchat is a community dedicated to helping Snapchat users to find and meet new friends. The concept is very simple: you need to post your age, gender, and a small description in the headline, then the subreddit’s bot automatically makes it easy for people to direct-message you on Reddit for exchanging usernames or Snapcodes. Remember that, the subreddit doesn’t allow for NSFW content, though there are other communities you can find out there that allow for just that.
Snapchat provides an easy way to connect with friends, family, and strangers alike. Hopefully, you find this article is helpful for you to find new friends on Snapchat. Find a person nearby, connect with them through Snapchat, and become friends and enjoy Snapchat.
