Your Best Friends on Snapchat are the eight people you chat and Snap with most.

Your Best Friends list always stays private, and updates automatically as your relationships wax and wane. This wikiHow teaches you where you can find a list of your Best Friends on Snapchat.

- A yellow heart means that you and this person are each other's #1 Best Friends.

Question

What if my friend isn't showing on my friends list, but when I search their name it says that we're friends?

Community Answer

Usually it's a glitch when you first add someone, but sometimes it happens when you don't hit people up for a while. I just search everyone because there's just too much to scroll through sometimes.
