To see mutual friends on Snapchat, here are the key points and steps based on current Snapchat features and privacy settings:
- Snapchat does not allow you to see the specific usernames or identities of mutual friends you share with another user. You can only see the number of mutual friends you have in common with someone, not who they are
- The main place to notice mutual friends is in the Quick Add section:
- Open Snapchat and tap the Add Friends icon (usually a person with a plus sign).
- Scroll through the Quick Add list where you will see some users with a label like "# mutual friends" under their username, indicating how many friends you share
* You can tap on their profile to add them, but you still won't see the actual mutual friends' names.
- You can also check your own friends list:
- Tap your Bitmoji/profile icon.
- Go to My Friends.
- Tap on a friend's name to see some profile info, but Snapchat does not show their full friend list or mutual friends explicitly here
- Snapchat's privacy policies prevent viewing others' friend lists, so if you want to know who the mutual friends are, your best option is to ask the person directly
- Group chats and story viewers might give indirect clues about mutual friends, but again, no direct list is shown by the app
Summary
What Snapchat Shows| What Snapchat Does Not Show
---|---
Number of mutual friends in Quick Add| Names/usernames of mutual friends
Your own friend list| Friends list of other users
Mutual friend count under usernames| Detailed mutual friend profiles
In short, you can see how many mutual friends you share with someone in Quick Add, but you cannot see who those mutual friends are without asking them directly
