Follow People On Snapchat:
Following someone on Snapchat is just like following someone on Twitter. You don’t need any ‘approval’. LinkedIn or Facebook both have something quite similar. You can also follow someone on FB or LinkedIn and check all their public posts in your feed. Just like this, you can also follow someone on Snapchat and check their story. They don’t need to have to follow you back i.e. add you as a friend. You can’t share them a private text though unless they add you back.
On Snapchat, ‘following’ means to add someone as your friend. We call it ‘following’ because that’s the only term used by many popular social media websites.
So there are two methods to do this. You can search for someone by their handle, or you can simply scan their Snapcode. The major difference between these two is that you can’t get a user’s Snapcode until they’ve shared it privately or publicly with you.
Follow Someone Via Search By Name
Head over to Snapchat and then click the search bar located at the top. Then input the name of that person you like to follow on Snapchat. You don’t want to know a person’s Snapchat user name but it’ll help if there are many people with the same name on your search results.
Also, you must know a difference between a publisher’s account or a user account. For instance, the BBC doesn’t have any Snapchat account by the name BBC. Also, if you search for CNN in the search bar, it’ll find the CNN account that is a publisher account. Snapchat will explain to you if an account is a publisher account so that you know who you’re following. Simply click the ‘Add’ button to add an account to your friend’s list.
Follow People On Snapchat Via Scan Snapcode
As mentioned above, you must have the Snapcode for a person to add them as a friend. The Snapcode is shared as a snap. You just save it to your camera roll. On the other hand, if you check a Snapcode online, or printed somewhere else, you can then capture a picture of it. Snapchat will can also scan the code from the photo.
Step 1:
Head over to the Snapchat then click the Snapchat icon located at the top left of your screen.
Step 2:
From your profile screen, simply click the ‘Add Friends’.
Step 3:
On the ‘Add Friends’ screen, click the ‘Snapcode’ option.
Step 4:
Snapchat will also open your camera and then ask you to choose the image that has the Snapcode in it.
Step 5:
Then it’ll check the account and provide you the option to add it, or if it is a publisher account simply subscribe to it.
Conclusion:
Snapchat is the famous instant messaging apps that allow you to share snaps on the go while sharing messages as well. You can also get access to lots of various image filters and also geographical filters that allow you to increase your pictures and share them with your friends.
