How Can You Hide a Snapchat Friend?

Have you ever wanted to hide a Snapchat friend from your list? Maybe you're just not as close with that person anymore and don't want to see their content, or you want to manage your privacy settings better. Whatever the reason, it's possible to hide a friend on Snapchat!

Go to your profile, access the settings menu, navigate to the "My Friends" section, find the friend you want to hide, open their profile, access their settings, and toggle the "Visible in Quick Add" option to "Off." Then, don't forget to tap "Done" to save your changes. This will hide the friend from the Quick Add list, but they'll still be able to see your Snapchat Stories and send you messages. If you want to block them altogether, tap "Block" in the settings menu. It's that simple!

In this article, we'll walk you through the steps for hiding a Snapchat friend and cover how to block someone if you want to take things a step further.

#1: Opening Your Snapchat Profile

The first thing you'll need to do is open your Snapchat profile. To do this, tap on the ghost icon at the top of the screen. This will take you to your profile, which shows your display name, username, and Snapcode.

#2: Accessing the Settings Menu

Now that you're in your Snapchat profile, it's time to access the settings menu. Here's what you need to do:

1. First, tap on the gear icon at the top right of the screen.
2. This will bring up a list of options.
3. Next, scroll down until you see "My Friends" and tap on it.

This will take you to a list of all your Snapchat friends.

#3: Finding and Opening the Friend's Profile

Now that you're in the "My Friends" section, it's time to find the friend you want to hide.

If you have a lot of friends on Snapchat, you can use the search bar at the top of the screen to search for their name or username. When you find the friend you're looking for, tap on their word to open their profile.

#4: Editing Privacy Settings

Now, it's time to edit their privacy settings. To do this, follow the following steps:

1. Tap on the gear icon at the top right of the screen. This will bring up a list of options.
2. Tap on "Edit Privacy" to access the privacy settings for this friend.
3. You can toggle the "Visible in Quick Add" option to "Off." This will hide the friend from the Quick Add list.
4. When you're finished, tap "Done" to save your changes.

Blocking or Archiving a Friend

Other options for hiding a friend are either blocking or archiving them.

If you want to block a friend on Snapchat completely, you can go to their profile and, tap on the gear icon, then select "Block."

This will prevent the person from viewing your Stories, sending messages, or seeing your profile. Please note that blocking a friend is a more permanent solution and cannot be undone.

If you're not sure if you are no longer chatting with them, you might consider archiving the chat:

Go to their profile, tap the gear icon, and select "Archive Chat." This will move the chat to your chat list's "Archived Chats" section.

Archiving a chat doesn't delete it or block the person from viewing your Stories or sending you messages. Instead, it helps you organize your conversations and keep them separate from your main chat list.
