Rekindling Friendships on Snapchat: A Guide
Hey there! Today, I’m going to show you how to reconnect with old pals on Snapchat. We all have those special friendships from the past that we’d like to revive, so let’s dive in and make it happen.
First things first, let’s talk about adding your old friends back to Snapchat. Sometimes, it can feel overwhelming to reach out after a long time, but trust me, it’s easier than it seems. Open up your Snapchat app and follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Open Snapchat
Launch the Snapchat app on your phone. Don’t worry if you haven’t used it in a while – we’re all in the same boat. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that great things are about to happen!
Step 2: Search for Friends
Now, it’s time to search for your long-lost friend. Tap on the little magnifying glass icon at the bottom of your screen. This will take you to the search bar.
Remember, finding someone on Snapchat is all about using their username. If you know their username, simply type it into the search bar. If you’re not sure what it is, don’t worry – there’s another way we can find them.
Step 3: Tap on “Add Friends”
If you don’t know your friend’s username, don’t fret! Snapchat gives you the option to add friends using their phone number or email address. Tap on the “Add Friends” button right below the search bar.
In the next screen, you’ll see the options “Add from Address Book” and “Add by Username.” Choose the one that works best for you. If you have your friend’s phone number or email address, pick “Add from Address Book.” If not, go back to Step 2 and try searching by username.
Step 4: Reconnect with Your Friend
This is the exciting part – reaching out to your old friend! Once you’ve found them, tap on their name or username to open their profile.
Take a moment to reminisce about the good times you shared. You can even add a personal touch by sending a quick message to break the ice. Let them know you’re reconnecting and would love to stay in touch again through Snapchat.
Step 5: Wait for Their Response
Now, all that’s left to do is wait for your friend’s response. They might be just as thrilled as you are to reconnect! Be patient – not everyone checks their Snapchat all the time.
In the meantime, keep exploring Snapchat and all the fun features it has to offer. Remember, even if your friend doesn’t respond right away, you can still enjoy snapping with new friends you’ve made along the way.
That’s it, my friend! You’re now equipped to bring back those cherished friendships through Snapchat. Go ahead, take this chance to revive those connections and create new memories together. Happy snapping!
Snapchat is a super popular social platform. Lots of young adults and teens use it. If you’re on Snapchat, chances are you have a bunch of Snapchat friends. But sometimes, because of our long lists of friends, we accidentally delete someone.
If this has happened to you, don’t worry! You’re not alone. There are a few ways to add back those old Snapchat friends, and with any luck, they won’t even realize that you removed them. Keep reading for step-by-step instructions and some advice on how to handle this tricky situation before your friends find out.
Stay Calm!
The first thing you need to do is stay calm. Snapchat doesn’t send a notification to people when you remove them from your friend list. So as long as you act quickly, you’ll be able to avoid any problems. Basically, people can check your profile to see if you’ve removed them.
If they try to message you, view your Story, or look at your profile, they might figure it out. On your profile, they can see your Snapchat score, which shows how many snaps you’ve shared in the past. If they notice that your Snap Score is gone, they might start to suspect something.
It’s up to you whether or not you want to tell your friends that you accidentally removed them. There’s no need to be embarrassed, because it can happen to anyone. If you’re true friends, they’ll probably give you a little teasing, but they’ll ultimately forgive you.
How to Reconnect with Old Snapchat Friends Using Their Username
So, you want to add an old friend back on Snapchat? No worries! I’ll show you the easiest way to do it using their username.
If you remember your friend’s username, just follow these simple steps:
- Open Snapchat on your Android or iOS device. If you need to, update the app for better performance.
- Tap on the “Add Friends” option.
- Type in your friend’s Snapchat username in the search bar.
- Remember, you need to enter their username, not their real name or display name. Once you find them, tap on the “Add (+)” button.
- After you do that, the button will change to “Added,” and you’re done!
I know it’s not easy to remember everyone’s usernames, even if you’re close. If you can’t recall their username, don’t worry. There’s another option for you!
How to Add Back Old Snapchat Friends Using Their Contact
If you had a close connection with the friend you removed, chances are you have their phone number saved. You can use their contact info to add them on Snapchat. Let me guide you through it:
- Open Snapchat on your phone or tablet.
- Select the “Add Contacts” option.
- Look for your friend in your Contacts menu.
- When you find them, tap on the “Add (+)” button.
It’s an easy option if you have their contact information. If not, don’t worry. There’s one more method that might work for you!
How to Add Back Old Snapchat Friends Using Their Snapcode
Okay, here’s another way to reconnect with your old friend on Snapchat. We can use their Snapcode as a last resort, especially if you don’t want them to know you removed them. The Snapcode is kind of like a QR code, and you’ll need to have it saved as an image on your phone. Here’s what you need to do:
Once you have your friend’s Snapcode, follow these steps:
- First, open Snapchat on your device.
- Next, tap on Add Friends.
- Now, take a look at the Snapchat icon on the right side of the search bar and tap on it.
- After that, select the Snapcode from your gallery. Once Snapchat scans the code, your friend will be added to your friend list.
Just keep in mind that the Snapcode image needs to be original and unedited for this method to work. Even if you resize the image, the code won’t work.
The Consequences of Deleting a Friend on Snapchat
If you accidentally delete someone and add them again, don’t worry! Your conversations will still be saved. However, until you add them back, they won’t be able to see your Stories or your mutual Snap score. They also won’t be able to send you any Snaps.
They can still send you snaps, but you won’t receive them. Once you’ve added them back to your friends list, you’ll receive the Snaps they sent while you weren’t connected.
On their end, they won’t notice any changes at first glance. You’ll still appear on their friends list, and the only thing that may give you away is your snap score. The other giveaway will be when you add them back – they’ll receive a notification.
Let Bygones Be Bygones
Hopefully, your friend will understand and allow you to add them again without any hard feelings. In the end, if someone chooses to hold a grudge, that’s their choice. It’s not a big deal.
