What you need to know

Discovery suggestions and private friend lists are different things.

  • Understand discovery

    Find Friends can suggest accounts. A suggestion should not be read as evidence of private conversations or a full friend network.

  • Review your choice

    Snapchat includes a Find Friends privacy setting. Its changes may take time to take effect.

  • Keep lists in context

    Snapchat says a friend list is private to its owner. This site cannot reveal someone else’s list.

A suggestion is not evidence of a conversation

  • A familiar account appears

    Discovery suggestions do not expose private messages or a complete friend list.

  • Your account is suggested elsewhere

    Review your own discovery/privacy controls.

  • You changed a setting

    Allow for the documented effect of the setting; do not promise instant disappearance everywhere.
