How to Find Someone on Snapchat?
There are hundreds of people with the same name on Snapchat.

But, there are still some alternative methods you can use to solve this problem. You can find someone on Snapchat by:
- Using Search Option
- Syncing Contacts
- Using someone’s Snap code
1. Using Search Option
One of the ways you can find someone on Snapchat is by searching for their username/phone number on the platform. As each user has a different username, it can be easier to find them. To do so, follow the given steps:

4. Their accounts will appear.
5. Click on the ‘Add’ icon to send them a friend request.
In this way, you can find someone on Snapchat using their names, usernames, or phone number. Make sure that if you are only searching using their names, to see for mutual friends or, view their Bitmoji first before sending them a friend request.

Every user on Snapchat has a snapcode that is different from that of everyone else. When you scan this snapcode, you will be taken to your friends’ accounts directly.
