If you’re like most people, you probably use Snapchat to keep in touch with friends. But if you want to delete your friends from the app, there are a few steps you need to take. First, open the app and sign in. Then, go to the “Friends” tab and click on the “Delete Friends” button. Next, enter your friend’s name and password and click on the “Delete” button. You’ll be asked to confirm your deletion before it takes effect. Once it does, your friend’s snaps will be deleted from Snapchat and they won’t be able to see or message you anymore.


When you delete a Snapchat friend, they can’t see your private Stories and Charms. They can still send you Snaps and Chats if you allow this in your privacy settings. They can also view all your content that is set as public.

Remove a Friend in Snapchat

To begin the friend removal process, first, open the Snapchat app on your iPhone or Android phone.

In the Snapchat app, from the bar at the bottom, tap the “Chat” option (a text-bubble icon).

On the “Chat” screen that opens, find the friend you want to delete. Then tap and hold on their name.

From the menu that opens after tapping and holding on a friend’s name, select “More.”

From the “More” menu, choose “Remove Friend.”

Snapchat will display a prompt asking you to confirm your choice. In this prompt, tap “Remove” to delete the selected friend from your account.

And that’s it. Your deleted friend will no longer appear on your friend list.

To take it a step forward, if you don’t want that person to be able to contact you on Snapchat, you can block them in your account. This way, they can’t find or see you on this platform.
