Snapchat has become one of the most popular social media platforms, with over 300 million daily active users. A key feature of Snapchat is adding friends so you can exchange snaps and messages. However, one aspect that can be confusing is figuring out if someone has added you back as a friend after you’ve sent them a friend request.
As a social media expert and avid Snapchat user for over 5 years, I’m going to walk you through exactly how to view Snapchat friends who have added you back.

Check Your Pending Friend Requests
When you send someone a friend request on Snapchat, it will show up under your “Added Me” section until the person accepts or denies it.
To view pending requests:
- Open the Snapchat app
- Tap your profile icon in the top left corner
- Tap the “Add Friends” button
- Scroll down and look under the “Added Me” section
If you see the person’s username under “Added Me”, it means they haven’t added you back yet. The request is still pending.
Check Your Friends List
Once someone accepts your friend request, they will show up on your Friends list.
To view your friends list:
- Tap your profile icon
- Tap the “My Friends” button
- Scroll through the list of names
If the person is on your friend list, it means they’ve added you back!
Pro Tip: You can also search for a specific friend by tapping the search bar at the top of the My Friends screen.
Snapchat has a Best Friends feature that shows the people you snap with the most at the top of your chat screen. You can identify mutual best friends with your Snapchat friends by the emoji next to their names.
If you have one or more of the same Best Friends, you’ll see these emoji indicators:
- 😎 – Mutual Best Friend
- 😬 – Mutual #1 Best Friend
So if you become Best Friends with someone who has added you back, you’ll know they added you from the emoji indicator.
To view your Best Friends list:
- Tap your profile icon
- Tap the emoji icon
- Scroll down and view the Best Friends section
See If They Have a Snap Score
Every Snapchat user has a Snap score, which is the number of Snaps they’ve ever sent. You can only see someone’s Snap score if they are your friend.
So if you sent someone a friend request, you can tell if they added you back by checking if their Snap score is visible.
To check for a Snap score:
- Tap the chat icon in the bottom left corner
- Tap the new chat icon in the top right corner
- Search for the person’s name
- Tap and hold their name for 2 seconds
- A popup will appear with their Snap score if they added you
If no score shows up, they haven’t added you back.
A Snapstreak occurs when you and a friend have snapped each other within 24 hours for three consecutive days. Snapstreaks show how many days your streak has gone on for.
If you have a Snapstreak with someone, it means they definitely added you back as a friend.
To view your Snapstreaks:
- Tap your profile icon
- Tap the emoji icon
- Scroll down and view the Snapstreaks section
Any streaks you see are with friends who have added you back.
Use Snapchat Online
You can also log into Snapchat on a web browser to make it easier to view your friends list and see who has added you back.
Simply go to snapchat.com and log in with your username and password. Then you can view your My Friends list and Added Me section.
