Want to Mass Delete Friends On Snapchat? Either you want to delete multiple friends altogether?
I got it for you. Today we will be looking at how you can delete your friends in masses.
Sometimes being a gregarious or extroverted person can be too troublesome.
Especially when you make so many random friends on Snapchat. And you never know until you are unable to add on any new friends on Snapchat.
The reason why is plain and simple. Snapchat allows users to add friends of up to 6000. Once you have reached that limit you cannot add any new friends.
Although we all love the attention we receive from our friends. Especially when we build up the streaks with the people.
However, this comes with unwanted attention from strangers. This would bring dozens of snaps and messages.
A simple solution to get rid of such an issue is to delete friends. And how do you do this? We will show simply and decisively.
Tip To Remember:
Once you have deleted the friend from your Snapchat you can’t have that friend on your friend list. Nor would you be able to talk to them. Delete only those you are unfamiliar with.
To make one thing clear, you cannot delete multiple friends together.
Is it possible to remove multiple friends on Snapchat?
Unfortunately, there is no such option or feature where you can delete or remove your unwanted friends just like you do with WhatsApp messages.
Sure you can delete your friends or remove them from your friend list on Snapchat.
But only by doing it manually. By removing them one by one.
And if some other articles claim that they can help you delete a mass amount of your friends in one go.
Then clearly it is bogus information. It is just clickbait for you to read further. It is better to stay away from such fake reports.
