Hot take: Snapchat friend recommendations are just a clever way to remind you that you have a lot of acquaintances.
Snapchat connects your contacts and mutual friends for recommendations. Ever got a suggestion for someone whose name sounds familiar?
Snapchat recommends friends based on your phone contacts, mutual friends (like if a friend of a friend has Snapchat), and sometimes people who have interacted with your posts or added you by username. It鈥檚 like the ultimate detector for potential new Snap buddies!
