How to Stop Friend Suggestions on Snapchat

Snapchat frequently sends friend suggestions through notifications based on your contacts, mutual friends, and app activity. While these suggestions can help you connect with people you know, they can become intrusive. Fortunately, you can limit or stop these suggestions by adjusting a few settings within the app. To begin, open the Snapchat app and go to your profile by tapping your Bitmoji or circle icon in the top-left corner. Next, tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to access your settings. Scroll down to the 'Privacy Controls' section and tap on 'See Me in Quick Add'. This setting determines whether others can find you through Snapchat’s suggestion feature. Toggle this option off to reduce your visibility in other users' suggestion lists. Next, scroll further down and look for the 'Notifications' option under 'My Account'. Tap on it to open the list of specific notification types. If your notifications are currently enabled, you'll see individual toggles. Find the ones labeled 'Friend Suggestions', 'Friends From Contacts', or 'Pending Friends'—depending on your app version—and toggle them off. This prevents Snapchat from sending you notifications about people you might know or mutual friend recommendations. By turning off both the visibility settings and related notifications, you can stop Snapchat from suggesting friends and avoid the associated alerts. Keep in mind that while these changes minimize friend suggestions, they may still appear occasionally under the 'Add Friends' tab if you're actively using contact syncing.
