How to Re-add Someone on Snapchat if Lost the Username?

Deleting friends from Snapchat is fairly easy. If you no longer want to follow certain users, you can remove them from your list in a few taps. That being said, if a process is simple, it is often easy to make mistakes. You may accidentally remove someone you did not want. Or if you were able to fix any conflicts you had, but oops! They have already been deleted! Should this be a terrible friend drama?

Not necessarily. You don't have to worry since you can re-add your friends right now. However, you need to enter some information about their profile before you can add them again. What if you can't remember their username?

Depending on the information you have about them, you can use a variety of methods to re-add Snapchat friends. This article will explain four different ways to find deleted friends.

How to find deleted friends

If you accidentally delete a friend and you want to add them again, there are several ways you can do this. You can add them by their username, from a contact list, from your friends list, or using a snap code.


A helpful feature of Snapchat is that friends are often on your friends list even when you delete them, even for a very limited time. So, if you can't remember your friend's username or contact information and you've just deleted them by accident, your first stop should be to check if they're still on your friends list.


Add a deleted friend from your friends list

If your friend's username is still on your friends list, you can easily add them. To do this, you should:


Go to the Snapchat app.

Tap your user profile at the top left of the screen.

Find the Friends section and select My Friends.

When the list opens, you will see that all the users follow you and those who follow you.

Even if you delete several friends, they may still be on this list with a little plus sign to the right of their name. This means they are still following you and are happily unaware of the huge mistake you just made. To re-add them, just tap the plus sign Your deleted friend will be your friend again.


Of course, this method will only work if that friend also follows you.


Add a deleted friend using their Snapchat username

If you remember your friend's username, you can add them quickly. All you have to do is use the search option to find them Follow these steps:

Open Snapchat from the app menu.

Select the Add Friend icon from the top right of the screen (profile with a plus sign above it)

Start typing usernames in the search bar.

Tap the add button on the right.

After following these steps, you will be able to successfully reconnect with your friend. If you do not remember their username, you may have the option to restore it by going to Snapchat in your web browser and selecting the Snapchat data option. By downloading this information you will get a complete list of people you have blocked or deleted.


Just log in and follow the verification steps to access Snapchat. Then, download your information from the website, open the file and search for their username.


Add a deleted friend from contacts

Snapchat syncs all your contacts so you can easily find and add them through the app. Follow these instructions to add a friend to your contact list:


Open the Snapchat app.

Then, tap the Add Friend icon at the top right of the screen.

Tap all contacts on the right side of the screen.

Find your friends and press the add button to their right.

If you do not find any deleted friends in your contacts and you know that you used their contact information, they have a chance to deactivate their Snapchat account. Alternatively, they may use a different e-mail or number for Snapchat.


Add a friend with a snapcode

Another way to find your friends is to use their Snapcode. If you have a photo of your friend's Snapcode on your phone, Snapchat will easily find their profile. To do this, you should:

Go to Snapchat and tap the Add Friend icon in the top right corner.

Tap the ghost icon to the right of the search bar.

Select the image from the photo gallery containing the snapcode.

Snapchat will scan the code, find your friends and add them back to your friends list.

Note that Snapcode must be in its correct format. If the image is cropped, stretched, or modified in any other way, it will not work.


How does deleting work in Snapchat?

You can delete a friend on Snapchat and don't worry they will get a notification until you re-add them. There are ways for people to tell if they have been deleted

Other users will not be able to see your snap score unless you are a friend. Depending on your privacy settings, they will not be able to see your snaps, stories or messages unless you have a public profile.

If your friend understands that you left MIA on their account, be prepared for them to contact you to find out why you deleted them. If it is an accident, you may not even notice that they have been gone for some time.


You have to explain something

As mentioned earlier, when you delete a friend from your friends list, there will be no notification. Your friends will not know that you removed them. However, once you re-add them, they will likely receive a notification from the app indicating that "(your username) has added you!"


If this happens you may have to explain that you accidentally deleted them Whether this is the real truth or a little white lie is entirely up to you. But hey, at least we got things back the way they were before they got out of hand!


Frequently Asked Questions

What if I still can't find the username of the deleted contact?

The only option for Snapchat users to find the deleted username is to download their Snapchat data from the website. Log in and click on the 'Data' link. From there you can download all the data stored in your Snapchat as a zip file on your computer.

Scroll through the data and see the logs of those who sent you Snaps. Assuming another person sent or received Snaps from you, you can find their username here.


I accidentally deleted a friend. Will they be notified if I add them again?

Yes. Although Snapchat does not notify other users that you have deleted them, they will receive one if you re-add them. In the end, the best way to handle this is to explain to them that what happened was an accident, error or mistake, and reconnect them.


Can I still send a message to someone I've deleted?

It depends on their privacy settings. If their settings are set to allow messages from "everyone" then yes However, if they set their privacy restrictions, they may not receive your message.

Try sending a message to the user, if they respond they see it but if it says "pending" then maybe their privacy settings are set to standard.

You probably know that there are two ways to remove someone from your contact list: you can delete or block them. Everyone brings their own benefits.

Once you've removed someone, you can reconsider your decision at any time and send them a friend request again. However, it is important to think about the consequences.


Moving a contact

To get things started, let's explain how to remove someone from your Snapchat contact list.

Bring a list of your friends

Tap and hold a name

Tap "More"

Tap "Remove friend"


Block a contact

There is a very similar process involved when blocking someone.

Go to your friends list

Tap and hold a name

Tap "More"

Select "Block"


The difference between removing and blocking your contacts

If you delete a contact from your list, you can no longer get pictures from them. Your snap scores become personal but all previous snap exchanges are available for review, assuming you have saved them.


When you delete someone from your contact list, they will not be notified of your actions.



Blocking a contact leads to more drastic change. For example, even saved messages will disappear. Also worth noting is that when you block and unblock someone on your friends list, they will not be automatically added as friends.


How to add people to your friends list again

Obviously, in order to add someone you've deleted, you need to remember their account. This should not be difficult if you have deleted an old friend.

Open the Snapchat app on your mobile device and make sure you're logged in

Tap the Add Friend icon

Use one of the following four preferences to add a deleted user

Note * You can add people by username, contact, snapcode and adding people nearby is easy. You can even add them from your address book.

Select "Add"

Get over here to get it over here. You can now wait patiently for them to accept your request.

If you don't remember a person's username but you have mutual friends, you can ask for their username or even their phone number.

You can then add phone numbers to your address book and use the "Add from Address Book" feature to identify them on Snapchat and add them back as friends.


Note:

To add someone from your phone's contact list, you'll need to give Snapchat access to that list. The device's contact list is not exactly the same as your address book. If you grant the required access to Snapchat, when you tap the "Contacts" tab instead of the "Add a friend" tab, the app will show which contact's phone numbers are linked to a Snapchat account.



You will see the "+ Add" button to the right of their name. Tap it to connect to them in the app.


What happens when you re-add an old contact

Once you've added someone you've previously deleted, Snapchat lets you see all the snaps that they sent you when you weren't friends - assuming they've accepted your invitation a second time.


Here is an interesting piece of information that many users do not realize. Each Snapchat user profile has a listing titled "Snapchatters who have added you back". Say you deleted someone and they didn't notice. All they have to do is check the list and find your name.


This is important because deleting contacts and blocking does not send notifications. But a person can still test to see why you stopped responding. When you delete someone, your name disappears from that list in their profile.


It is worth thinking twice before deleting someone. If you have doubts, know that you can't change your mind without knowing about them. Whether you delete someone or block someone, things can get awkward.


Manage your friends list carefully

Never forget that you can't add someone to your friends list without knowing them. After a few weeks or months of silence, your desire to reconcile may not be appreciated.


It's also important to remember that blocking someone will delete previous photos and conversations between the two of you. If you haven't just disposed of a random hacker, it's a good idea to use the "Delete" feature instead because it will at least allow you to look back on important moments.


Will anyone know if I delete or block them?

Although they will not receive any notifications, they will no longer be able to see your snap, send you messages or view your snap score.
