How many Best Friends can you have on Snapchat?

Best Friends on Snapchat are the people you snap and chat with the most. However, there is a limit to the number of Best Friends you can have.

The Best Friends feature on Snapchat is designed to highlight the people you interact with the most. When you send snaps or chat with certain friends more frequently, the app recognizes these interactions and adds these friends to your Best Friends list.

This list is handy for users who have a large number of contacts, as it helps prioritize conversations and snaps with their favorite people. However, many users often wonder about the specifics of how many Best Friends they can have and how these friends are chosen and updated.

How many Snapchat Best Friends can you have?

On Snapchat, you can have up to eight Best Friends. This number is the maximum limit, meaning you might have fewer Best Friends if you do not frequently interact with that many people.

Best Friends are prominently featured on the Send To screen and the Chat page, making them easily accessible for quick communication. The list gets updated regularly based on your interaction patterns.

It’s important to note that you can’t manually change your Best Friends list. If you stop talking to one of your Best Friends and start chatting more with someone else, the platform recognizes this change and updates your Best Friends list accordingly based on your communication habits.

Additionally, Snapchat notes that people may be able to see if they are among your Best Friends, but no one else can view your Best Friends list.
