Mutual friends are Snapchatters you and another person are both friends with. Seeing mutual friends can help you confirm you’re adding the right person.
When will I see another Snapchatter’s mutual friends list?
- You’ll only see a mutual friends list of another user if both you and the other Snapchatter have turned on sharing mutual friends.
- Please Note: If you have turned on sharing mutual friends while the other Snapchatter whose profile page you’re looking at has not, then no mutual friends will be displayed.
- If both of you are sharing mutual friends, you can view the list of mutual friends on that Snapchatter’s profile page.
- Please Note: If one or more mutual friends don’t appear in the mutual friends list, that may mean that those users have not turned on Mutual Friends.

Why can't I see a mutual friends list?
There are several reasons why you may not be seeing a mutual friends list...
- You may not have any mutual friends with that user
- The other person may not be sharing mutual friends yet
- The mutual friends between you and the other user have not turned on their Mutual Friends setting and therefore remain hidden
- The feature may not be available for that account or region
