Snapchat is a unique messaging app, if you can call it that. It’s probably one of the most fun apps you can use with your friends. It is also one of the most insidious apps because many things you share with your friends are deleted within a few seconds.
It’s a well-known fact, but what about your friends and followers? You won’t get notifications when someone unfriends or unfollows you on Snapchat. People can do this without you noticing.
That is unless you read this article and learn how to tell if this is happening.
The description of Snapchat Friends
Snapchat confuses many, especially its new users. You should know that friend and follower lists on Snapchat don’t work like they do on other social media like Instagram and Facebook.
When you add a person to your friends list on Snapchat, they will immediately become a part of it. This means that even if they don’t accept your request, you will see them in your friend list. This fact is the root of all the confusion swirling around Snapchat friends or followers.
There is a way to tell if someone is currently your friend on Snapchat. Actually, there is more than one way and they are all pretty easy.
How To Find Out If Your Snapchat Friends/Followers Have Removed You
You can start by sending a message to your Snapchat friend or follower first.
If you can’t, that means they didn’t accept your follow request or removed you from their followers or friends in the first place. Also, you can try to view Snapchat stories (24 hour Snap that disappears similar to Instagram story).
If you can’t even view your friend’s Snapchat Story, it means they either removed you or didn’t accept your request. Not many people post their Snapchat Stories regularly, so this method is not useful most of the time.
There is a better, more reliable way to check if someone is your friend or follower on Snapchat. The answer lies in the Snapchat score. This score represents the number of Snaps you’ve shared throughout your Snapchat friendship.
How to Check Snapchat Score
Snapchat score is the most reliable indicator of Snapchat followers or friendships. If you cannot view this score, you may conclude that this person is not your friend or follower. Checking Snapchat score is easy.
To check Snapchat score between you and another user, follow these steps:
- Open Snapchat on your Android or iOS device if you haven’t already, make sure to use the provided links to update the app to the latest version.
- Go to your friend or follower’s profile.
- There should be a number next to the Snapchat name, and that’s the Snapchat score you have with that person.
- Also, if the two of you are still friends or following each other, you can share your location and request your friend’s location.
What does this mean?
If you can’t see any numbers next to a person’s Snapchat name, you don’t have Snapchat points, they deleted you. Also, you can’t request their location or share your location with them. That person will still be marked as your friend in your Snapchat friends list for some reason.
Sometimes, it may indicate that a person has disabled their Snapchat account and then come back. Therefore, if you think that he deleted you on Snapchat, you should not immediately jump to conclusions and attack your friend.
Maybe ask them about their Snapchat profile in person or using another messaging app. Finally, there is one more thing you can do. Instead of looking at the Friends tab, look at the Subscriptions tab in your Snapchat Stories.
If that person appears here instead of the Friends menu, they no longer follow you or have never followed you.
time to act
Unless a person is your real-life friend, it’s not worth worrying about friendships on Snapchat. Otherwise, this shouldn’t affect you because online friendships are often superficial and unsustainable.
This doesn’t have to be true, but in most cases it is. You can easily find more friends or followers on Snapchat, and if that person decides to unfollow you or remove you from their friend list, it’s probably not worth your time.
