How to see mutual friends on Snapchat

If you’re looking to broaden your Snapchat contact list, there are methods to see your mutual friends on the social media app.

Snapchat has consistently evolved by introducing innovative features that enhance user engagement and experience. From stories and Bitmojis to geofilters and lenses, the app keeps updating its offerings to remain engaging.

Most social media platforms offer the ability to see mutual friends, creating a more personalized social experience. Knowing mutual friends is useful when you come across a new connection or are looking to validate the credibility of a new friend request.

While it’s not possible to see what new users your friends have recently added on Snapchat, you can still see which users share similar connections with you.

How to view mutual friends on Snapchat

To maintain user privacy, Snapchat only lets you see the number of mutual friends, not their names. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open Snapchat.
2. Click the ‘Add’ button at the top-right corner.
3. View the ‘Quick Add’ list.
4. From this list, you’ll see potential connections including your mutual friends.
5. To add someone as your new friend, just press the ‘Add’ button next to their profile.

You will know someone is a mutual friend by the gray mutual friends counter under the user’s name. But remember, you will only be able to see the number of mutual friends, not their usernames, due to Snapchat’s privacy policy.

Can you see other people’s friends on Snapchat?

Snapchat does not allow you to view other people’s friends lists, even if you’re connected with them. However, you can find mutual connections by browsing the Quick Add list or looking for Mutual Friend tags.

Alternatively, you can ask your friends directly about people in their friends list to see who you might be able to add.
