How to Stop Snapchat from Showing You in Quick Add (Find Friends)
Have you ever noticed that your name is suggested to others in Snapchat’s ‘Quick Add’ (now called ‘Find Friends’)? Yes! This is a feature that suggests you in someone else’s Quick Add and someone else in your Quick Add. This feature is enabled by default on Snapchat.
However, if you want to ensure that no one can see you in this ‘Find Friends’ feature, you’re not alone. Many people want to maintain their privacy and only add people they know on Snapchat. In this article, I have shared step-by-step how you can block yourself from appearing in Find Friends (formerly Quick Add) on Snapchat.
