Snapchat is another instant messaging application and service similar to WhatsApp or Telegram, but it has some cool features and filters that you can’t find anywhere else. Just like every other social media, you can add new friends, chat with them, and even delete friends. Snapchat continuously tries to improve the user experience but somehow, this service isn’t as popular as its competitors.
There might be several reasons which can force you to delete someone from your friend list. Though it seems a weird decision on a social media platform, it’ll be helpful from an individual’s perspective.
It’s quite possible that you’re trying to maintain a friend list by reducing unknown friends or those who’re not in touch with you for a while. Here in this article, we’ll go through the simple steps to easily remove specific friends on Snapchat to make it happen.
