How to remove a friend on Snapchat

To remove a friend from your Snapchat friend list, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Snapchat.
2. Swipe right to go to the Chat screen where you can see recent conversations.
3. Tap and hold on a friend’s name until a new menu pops up.
4. From the menu, press ‘Manage Friendship.’ This will open a new set of options specifically related to your relationship with this friend.
5. Tap ‘Remove Friend’ to delete the person from your friends list. You may have to confirm your choice when prompted.

Once you remove a friend on Snapchat, they will not be notified directly. However, they may notice they no longer see your Stories or receive snaps from you, depending on your privacy settings.

It’s also worth mentioning that deleting a friend is different from blocking them; removing stops their access to your private snaps, but they can still view any public content you post on the app.
