How Do You Know How Many Friends You Have On Snapchat

If you want to see the number of friends you've then just look at the Snapchat 'My Friends' option and find the list of all friends.

But, in case you have a lot more friends then this might not be possible to see all your friends in a short period of time, moreover, it can take up to hours if the list is too long.

As Snapchat does not show the number of friends on the 'My Friends' tab, you can just count it from the beginning but I just found a really quick way to see how many friends you have on Snapchat without counting it.

In order to see or know the number of Friends on Snapchat you've, just open your Snap Map and tap on the snap and choose the option to share it with. Now, from the drop-down choose 'Only These Friends' and select all from the list, the saved list will show the number of friends (as selected all) on your Snapchat account from there.

As you can check the numbers of friends present on your Snapchat friends using the Snap Map feature, you have to follow some simple steps to find that.

To know the number of friends you have on Snapchat,

Open your 'Snap Map' from Snapchat or link.
On the 'Snap Map' tab, tap on the 'location icon' at the bottom.
Now click a snap and choose to share the location.
Tap onto 'Settings', and click on 'Only These Friends' then Select All friends.
You will see 'with … Friends' that is the number of friends you have on Snapchat.

Now, once you save the settings the number of friends will be displayed on the setup on Snap Map.

A detailed step-by-step guide on Snap Map also included below in this article.
