- On your phone’s home screen, locate and tap the Snapchat icon to open the app.
- In the top left-hand corner of your screen, tap your profile icon, which may appear as a Bitmoji.
- Just below your profile information, tap the “Find friends on Snapchat” button, which will lead you to sync your phone’s contacts to the Snapchat app.
- Next, you’ll be required to confirm that you want to find your friends by syncing your contacts. Click the blue Continue button to proceed.
- A pop-up will appear asking for Snapchat to access your contacts. Choose”OK” to allow this.
Method Two: Using the Search feature
- Open the app and tap the magnifying glass/ search button at the top of the screen.
- In the search bar, type the name or username of the user you wish to search for.
- You’ll see suggestions once you’ve typed the first tree letter.
- Keep typing if the user doesn’t appear.
- Press the ‘Add’ button when you find the user you’ve been looking for.
- You can also press the ‘View More’ button to see other users with a similar username if you don’t remember the exact one.

Method Three: Using the User’s Snapcode
Every user has a unique Snapcode, and these Snapcodes can be used to add anyone of your choice.
- Launch Snapchat by tapping the app’s icon on your phone’s home screen.
- Now, go to camera mode (the screen which displays the camera for you to take photos or videos).
- Ask the user to open their Snapchat app and find their Snapcode by tapping on their profile icon in the upper left-hand corner of the app. The yellow box with the dots and their icon is their Snapcode.
- Point your camera to the user’s Snapcode and tap and hold the screen for a few seconds before letting go.
- The camera should automatically scan the Snapcode and locate their account.
- Tap Add Friend to add the person to your Snapchat contacts list.
Note: You don’t necessarily need to be with someone to scan their Snapcode. A screenshot or photo of their Snapcode can also be scanned by your phone to locate their Snapchat account.
