Finding sneaky ways to add people on Snapchat without revealing how you found them is something many users want to figure out. Let me walk you through some clever methods that actually work, while keeping things discreet.
Quick Add: Your Secret Weapon
The easiest way to add someone without the “Added by Search” notification is through Snapchat’s Quick Add feature. This section shows you suggested friends based on your mutual connections, and when you add someone this way, it simply appears as “Added by Quick Add” – much more casual than revealing you searched for them.
The Mutual Friends Method
Here’s a little-known trick: if you find someone through a mutual friend’s friend list and add them from there, Snapchat shows it as “Added through Friends” instead of “Added by Search.” Pretty neat, right?
Steps to Follow:
– Open a friend’s profile
– Tap their friendship badge (score)
– Browse their friends list
– Add the person you’re looking for
The Snapcode Strategy
Another smooth move is using Snapcodes. If you can get hold of someone’s Snapcode (maybe through another social platform or a screenshot), you can add them this way. When you do this, it shows up as “Added by Snapcode” – which actually looks pretty organic and doesn’t give away that you were specifically searching for them.
Username Link Method
Here’s an insider tip: if you can get the person’s exact username, you can create a direct link using “snapchat.com/add/username”. When someone is added this way, it appears as “Added by Username” instead of search. This method feels more natural and doesn’t raise any eyebrows.
The Phone Number Trick
If you happen to have the person’s phone number, add it to your contacts and let Snapchat sync with your phone’s address book. When you add them this way, it shows as “Added from Contacts” – totally normal and expected.
Pro Tips to Remember:
– Always ensure your own privacy settings allow others to add you
– Consider turning off “Quick Add” for yourself if you want to stay under the radar
– Remember that being too sneaky might come across as suspicious
The key is to make your add appear as organic as possible. While it might take a little extra effort, these methods help you maintain that casual appearance when adding new friends on Snapchat. Just remember to use these techniques responsibly and respect others’ privacy preferences.
