Troubleshooting Snapchat Friend Issues

If your friend request remains pending, the user may have you on their restricted list or hasn’t logged in to accept it yet. You’ll have to wait for them to accept the request.

Accidentally Deleted a Friend

If you accidentally deleted a friend, you’ll need to send them another friend request. They’ll show up again once they accept it.

If Snapchat can’t access your contacts, go to your phone’s Settings app and make sure Snapchat has permission to view your contacts.
