Do you want to see if someone is a friend of a friend of yours on Snapchat? If so, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about mutual friends on Snapchat and how you can add people you know as friends on this platform. Let’s get started.
Can You See Mutual Friends on Snapchat?
So, is it possible to view the friends you have in common with other people on Snap? The answer is both a yes and a no.
Yes, because Snapchat does allow you to see the rough number of mutual friends, and no, because the app doesn’t tell you who those individual mutual friends are. Unfortunately, Snapchat doesn’t show you the exact number of mutual friends, and you can’t see the names of any mutual friends. These are the limitations when viewing your mutual friends on Snapchat.
How to Check the Approximate Mutual Friend Count on Snapchat
While you can’t see the exact number of mutual friends on Snapchat, you can check a rough count of friends you have in commmon with someone.
To view that information, first, launch the Snapchat app on your iPhone or Android phone. In the app’s top-left corner, tap your profile picture or Bitmoji.
On your profile page, scroll a bit down and tap "Add Friends." Don’t worry; you won’t have to add any friends.
On the "Add Friends" screen, in the "Quick Add" section, you’ll find many users. Here, beneath a user’s name, you’ll see an imprecise number of mutual friends you have with them, like "2+" or "3+."
And that’s how you find out if you have mutual friends with a user on Snapchat. Enjoy!
How to Add Known People as Friends on Snapchat
If you’re looking to add the people you know as friends on Snapchat, you can simply load your contact list in the app and let the app find those people.

Select "Continue" and allow Snapchat to access your phonebook.
When your phonebook is synced with Snapchat, you’ll find your known people in your Snapchat app. You can now add these people to your friend list on the platform.
