How to Remove Friends on Snapchat
There are a few techniques to this, but all of them eventually lead to the same place: the Manage Friendship menu. This is where you’ll find the delete option.
Your Friends List
One method, which works even if you don’t have any recent messages with the person, is to find them in your My Friends list. Go this route if you have lots of old friends to clear out, or you need to search for the user.
The Chat Page
If you want to unfriend people you’ve recently snapped with, save time and start at the Chat screen. This is where all your uncleared conversations are held, so deleting a friend you were just chatting with is best done here. Similar to the above steps, just tap-and-hold the user’s name to see the same options as step 4 above. Go to Manage Friendship to find the Remove Friend option.
Can You Unadd Multiple Friends on Snapchat at Once?
No. Snapchat doesn’t let you bulk remove two or more friends. Unfortunately, the process for clearing out the friends list or removing two, 10, or 20 people from your account, is the same: erase one friend at a time with the steps outlined above. The only exception is if you delete your whole Snapchat account. Technically, this is the quickest way to remove all your Snapchat friends in one move, but your username will go with it, as will your Snaps and chats.
Readd Friends You Deleted on Snapchat
There isn’t a “deleted friends” list readily available within the Snapchat app that you can sift through to easily readd old friends. However, it’s still very easy to add people on Snapchat, even users you’ve deleted. Follow that link to learn how to add people from your contact list or by their username or Snapcode. That said, if you do need your list of deleted friends, download your data from Snapchat. Included there is not only your current friends list, but also deleted friends, blocked users, hidden friend suggestions, and more.
Stop Old Friends From Adding You Back on Snapchat
If you have deleted someone, but they keep nagging you to be their friend, you can simply block them on Snapchat. If the user keeps messaging you, but you don’t want to completely block them, through that link are directions for changing your privacy settings so only friends can contact you.
