Question

When I tap the ghost button at the top of my screen, what does "added me" mean and what does it do?

Community Answer

It is similar to a friend request. The users listed under "Added Me" are the people who have added you on Snapchat. You can click "add" beside a username to add that user to your friends.

Can someone view my friends/can my friends view other friends?

Community Answer

No, they can't but the emojis may appear (such as the one where your best friend is also their best friends) which sometimes may initiate that. Otherwise viewing your friends is not possible.

Question

Can I save a Snapchat message?

Community Answer

Yes. If you want to save a snap, simply screenshot it. If you want to save a chat, go to that message and hold down the message you want to keep. A "saved" logo will pop up on the side, and it would be saved to that chat forever.

Question

How do I view a public story without adding the person as a friend?

Community Answer

If you want to see stories that were added to "Our Story", you go to your main camera, then tap on "Search". There will be multiple stories posted by the community. If you want to see an account's story, you must add the person. It will automatically accept, and the person will be notified that you added them.

Question

How can I tell who the person is before I accept the friend request?

Community Answer

You can’t. If it seems like somebody that you don’t know, deny the friend request or block that person. If it seems like somebody that you know but you don’t know for sure, add them and ask them who they are.
