Do you know that 75% of teenagers consider Snapchat their favorite social app?
With 375 million daily active users, Snapchat remains one of today’s most relevant social media platforms. 6 in 10 users even open the app daily — to post a Snap, take a photo, or chat with a friend.
This article will explore four simple ways to check how many friends you have on Snapchat. Let's dive in.
Physical distance is the top reason why friends lose touch with each other. However, 2020’s Friendship Report said that digital tools helped 79% of people maintain friendships. 88% of people in the world even enjoy chatting with their online friends.
While Snapchat is not the most helpful app for creating connections from scratch, it is one of the social networking sites best suited for maintaining friendships.
Snapchat features like My Story lets your friends catch a glimpse of your life, making them feel included.
Here are the four simple methods to see the total number of your Snapchat friends:
Viewing the list of all your friends is the traditional way to check how many friends you have on Snapchat. Follow these steps:

This list can also include people who are not your Snapchat friends. They either removed you from their Friend list or need to add you back.
Also, since Snapchat does not display a tally for all your friends, the only way to know is to go through all your friends and count them individually.
If counting feels like a chore, keep reading to find an easier way.
Another way to see how many Snapchat friends you have is by using Snap Map. It is an in-app feature launched in 2017 that lets you see and share your location with your friends.
Here's how to use it to see your friend count:
Step 1: Enable Snap Map on Snapchat
|
Step 2: Select Friends on Snap Map
|
Make sure to check your location settings for this method. If your phone or app’s location sharing is disabled, your Bitmoji avatar won't appear on Snap Map.
Most importantly, be careful when sharing locations to avoid getting involved with scams.
If you want to check how many friends you have on Snapchat, you can try Snapchat stories. This feature was released in 2013, and it lets users share photos and videos that stay on their profiles for only 24 hours.
Here's how to use this fun method:

Snapchat Story is also another way to count and categorize friends. You can organize friends into best friends, family, work, and school groupings — using emojis.
If you have a lot of friends, it may be hard to count all of them as you select. However, you can still get an estimate by tracking who has seen your story.
One last method unknown to many involves using the chat screen. Through your Snapchat conversation, you can count how many people you can talk to.

Knowing how many friends you have and who they are is vital in nurturing life-long connections.
Now, there are simple ways to check how many friends you have on Snapchat. As you tally your total friend count, try to send a simple “Hello” or “How are you?” to your friends. Also, if you want more Snapchat friends, check out your Quick Add suggestions.
No, you cannot see how many friends someone has on Snapchat. Each user's friend list is private unless you have access to their login details.
Snapchat allows you to have up to 5000 friends, but you can only add 100-130 friends daily. You can add more friends after 24 hours if you exceed the limit.
You can boost your friend count by sharing your username, syncing your contacts, and more.
