If you are lucky enough to have a snapchat account you may be curious to know how many friends you have. This popular mobile social networking app allows you to contact your contacts and retweet their posts, but it doesn’t count them if they don’t follow you back. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to keep track of your pals, from the aforementioned to the nifty-looking to the nefarious.
The most obvious way to see your friends list is to scroll down to the bottom of your snapchat window. Next, click the map icon on the left side of the screen. This will open the Snap Map, which is a cool feature on its own. You can use this to browse the location of your friends, and also check out their stories. It’s a good way to make sure you are not missing any of your favorite people.

As with any smartphone app, you can also control who gets to see your location using the settings, but this option is reserved for the select few. The next step is to choose who gets to see the big picture. In other words, you are essentially making a decision that you don’t want to make.
You could always opt to simply count your friends, but that would be an exercise in futility. If you have a large list of mates, you’ll likely be sifting through their posts in a heartbeat. To combat this, you can choose to block certain users from sending you messages, or you can block them from seeing your location altogether. Alternatively, you could even turn on ghost mode. While this will make your friends less inclined to send you photos, it will also shave a few hours off your life.
The next best thing to do is to check out the map. By clicking on the map icon on the left hand side of your screen, you will be able to see the locations of your favorite people, and you will have the opportunity to make a few friends along the way. Not only will this help you get to know your buddies better, you will be able to spend more time actually interacting with them, which is obviously the best type of interaction.

Whether you are curious to find out how many friends you have, or just curious to see what your buddies are up to, this popular social networking app is a breeze to navigate. With the latest version, you can also see what your friends are doing on their stories, or view their snaps in real time. Even better, you can also block them from contacting you. This is particularly useful if you have a nosy partner who has a penchant for texting you in the middle of the night.
You can count your friends in this app, but you can also count the number of conversations you’ve had with them. Of course, this is not the most efficient way to do it, but it’s the best way to make sure you don’t miss out on any of your favorite people.
