How To Turn Off Find Friends On Snapchat !
➤ Subscribe to my channel: / @ctrlhow65
Do you want to stop Snapchat from suggesting your phone contacts as friends or letting other people find you through their contact lists?
This feature, called "Find Friends" or contact-based suggestions, can feel invasive if you'd rather keep your Snapchat activity private from people who have your phone number. But turning it off isn't as simple as flipping a single switch.
This video walks you through the complete process. First, you'll tap your Bitmoji avatar at the top left, then the gear icon for settings. Scroll down to find "contacts syncing" under additional services—that's where you remove all previously synced contacts from Snapchat.
But that's only half the battle. You'll also need to go into your phone's permissions and set Snapchat's contact access to "not allow." Then, back in Snapchat's settings under privacy, look for "how people can find you" and toggle off "show me in find friends."
Here's the catch that trips up many users: removing synced contacts and disabling permissions stops Snapchat from using your contacts, but it doesn't automatically remove you from other people's friend suggestions if they already have you in their phone. And if you ever reinstall the app, those permissions may reset. Watch until the end to make sure you're fully hidden from contact-based suggestions, not just partially.
