Thus, in this tutorial, we have come up with an idea to share with you- how to delete Snapchat friends step by step.
Even though Snapchat is an application where the received texts get deleted after a point of time (which can be changed in the Settings of the app,) there can be possibilities of random people entering your Snapchat and spamming your Chat Box with a lot of unwanted snaps which is unnecessary.
This also happens when some unknown Snapchat user sends you a friend request on Snapchat and you accept it by mistake and end up getting spammed with a lot of undesirable snaps.
It is always a better option to remove or delete all unwanted Snapchat friends to clear the clutter of your account. No wonder we all want our social media platforms to be tidy and simple. In case you are tired of your friends’ snaps or you do not want them on your friend list on Snapchat, this article is for you.
Points to remember
Before having out the steps the following things should be kept in mind:
When you delete a Snapchat friend, they cannot see your private stories that you put up but they can still send you snaps and text/ call/ video call you. You can change this in the Settings of the app in case you do not want to receive any messages or snaps from the deleted friends.
Your deleted friends can still see whatever you put out on Snapchat meant for the Public.
The steps mentioned in this article follow the same for both Android and iPhone.
