How to Re-Add Someone You Previously Deleted on Snapchat

Key Takeaways

  • Snapchat allows you to re-add friends you have previously deleted from your friends list
  • There are multiple ways to find and re-add deleted friends on Snapchat
  • Re-adding deleted friends will notify them, but there are steps to make the process more discreet

As an experienced Snapchat user and social media expert, I understand the importance of managing your friend list on the app. Sometimes, you may accidentally delete a friend or decide to remove someone temporarily. Fortunately, Snapchat provides several methods to re-add those deleted friends if you change your mind later.

Search for Their Username

One of the easiest ways to re-add a deleted friend on Snapchat is by searching for their username. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Snapchat app and tap on the “Search” icon at the top-left corner of the screen.
  2. Type in the username of the friend you want to re-add.
  3. When their name appears in the search results, tap on it.
  4. Tap the “Add Friend” button next to their name.

If you don’t remember their username, you can try searching for their display name or phone number instead.

Check the “Quick Add” List

Snapchat keeps a list of users who have added you but you haven’t added back yet. This “Quick Add” list can be a helpful place to find deleted friends who still have you added on their end.

  1. Open the Snapchat app and tap on the “Add Friends” icon at the top-right corner.
  2. Scroll through the “Quick Add” list to see if the friend you want to re-add is listed there.
  3. If they are, simply tap the “Add” button next to their name.

Use Your Phone Contacts

If the deleted friend is saved in your phone’s contact list, you can re-add them through the “All Contacts” option on Snapchat.

  1. Open the Snapchat app and tap on the “Add Friends” icon at the top-right corner.
  2. Tap on “All Contacts.”
  3. Scroll through the list and find the friend you want to re-add.
  4. Tap the “Add” button next to their name.

Check the “Ignored from Quick Add” List

Snapchat also keeps a list of users whose friend requests you have ignored or dismissed in the past. This “Ignored from Quick Add” list can be a useful place to find deleted friends.

  1. Open the Snapchat app and tap on the “Add Friends” icon at the top-right corner.
  2. Tap on the three dots in the top-right corner and select “Ignored from Quick Add.”
  3. Scroll through the list to see if the friend you want to re-add is listed there.
  4. If they are, tap the “Add” button next to their name.

Discreet Re-Adding

It’s important to note that when you re-add a friend on Snapchat, they will receive a notification informing them that you have added them back. If you want to be more discreet about re-adding a deleted friend, you can follow these steps:

  1. Ask a mutual friend for the person’s Snapchat username or Snapcode.
  2. Add the person back using their username or by scanning their Snapcode.
  3. Immediately send them a Snap or message after adding them back.

By sending a Snap or message right after re-adding them, the notification they receive will be for the Snap or message, rather than the friend request itself. This can make the re-adding process more discreet.

Final Thoughts

Re-adding deleted friends on Snapchat is a straightforward process, but it’s essential to be mindful of the notifications and potential implications. Whether you accidentally removed someone or had a change of heart, Snapchat provides multiple avenues to reconnect with those you’ve previously deleted from your friends list.

Remember, good communication and respect for others’ privacy are key when managing your social media connections. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Snapchat support team or consult with other experienced users in the community.
