Snapchat: add contacts - how it works
To exchange pictures with friends and other users in Snapchat, you first need to add contacts. We'll show you how it works.
Add contacts in Snapchat
In Snapchat, you can exchange photos that are destroyed by themselves after a short moment and cannot be saved. However, you need contacts for a lively picture exchange. That's how it's done:
- Open Snapchat and select the menu icon in the bottom right in camera mode. How to get to your friend overview.
- There you can see who is already using Snapchat from your contacts. Tap the plus icon in the top right.
- In the next window you will see your friend requests and can switch to your contacts by tapping the second tab with the phone book icon.
- With a finger on the plus icon behind a name from your phone book, you invite more friends to Snapchat.
