Is there a Snapchat user you want to unfriend? Don't worry—the user won't be notified if you decide to delete them from your friend list. You can easily remove a friend by long-pressing their username to access the "Manage Friendship" menu. While there's no way to mass delete multiple friends, it will only take a few steps to remove them one by one. This wikiHow will show you how to unfriend someone on Snapchat using your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

Things You Should Know

  • Tap your profile icon and then tap "My Friends" to see your full friend list.
  • Long-press on the user you want to delete. Tap "Manage Friendship" → "Remove Friend" → "Remove".
  • Users won't be notified that they are deleted or blocked, though they may be able to check.
