Snapchat is a great app to keep in touch with friends and family, no matter where they are in the world. The app is also a great way to connect with mutual friends or even meet new people! The bad thing about this, however, is that people you don’t know can contact you too. In this article, we’ll discuss why strangers can contact you on Snapchat and how to prevent this from happening.
How to stop random people from adding you on Snapchat!
When you create an account on Snapchat, you give Snapchat permission to show your profile to users who search for you. In this case, if a user knows your Snapchat ID, they can search for you and then add you from the search results.
If you've added your phone number to the app, you may appear on the accounts of people who have your number saved on their phone under "People You May Know." This is because Snapchat lets you sync your phone contacts to help you easily add your friends.
Users can also scan your Snapcode to be redirected to your Snapchat profile. If you posted your Snapcode on a public forum, anyone can scan it and add you using that code.
