If you frequently use Snapchat, you may want to know how to remove someone from your best friends list. The app analyzes who you talk to the most and who you send the most snaps to before naming them your best friend. However, things change, friends part ways, and you may want to remove that person from your profile. This article will show you how to remove someone from your best friends list if you want to change up your Snapchat besties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Snapchat, you may notice that emojis appear next to the names of some of your friends. Each of these emojis has a different meaning: if a smiley face appears next to a friend, it means they have become one of your “best friends.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Snapchat, a ‘best friend’ is anyone to whom you regularly send snaps and messages. You can have up to eight best friends; when you send a snap, they will appear at the top of your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Snapchat first launched, others could see your list of best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This feature, however, has been removed in recent years. This means that only you know who is currently on your list of best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, you don’t have to be concerned about others seeing who your best friends are: the only way they could see this list is to log into your account and view it for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snapchat has not specified how long best friends will remain on your list. But, based on my experience with the app, it appears that not chatting with your friend for a couple of days may be enough to remove their status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is worth noting, however, that if you are a frequent snapchatter with a large number of best friends, it may take longer. Those who don’t use the app frequently may notice that sending a few snaps back and forth can result in a new best friend. The answer is really dependent on how frequently you use the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snapchat’s Best Friends list keeps track of the people you talk to the most. Snapchat used to allow you to add specific contacts as Best Friends, but that has changed slightly. It is displayed at the top of your main friend list, making those users more accessible when sending a new Snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, how does Snapchat determine who your Best Friends are? It’s quite simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have noticed that each user has a Snap Score, which is a calculation of the total number of Snaps sent and received since joining. Individual conversations between you and your friends are given a similar score. The more you talk to someone, the higher your friendship score becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snapchat analyzes these scores and ranks the friends you chat with the most in order of friendship score to create your Best Friends list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to completely remove a contact from your list of friends, the first option is probably the simplest. This is how it’s done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Removing a friend is a temporary solution that allows them to still message you. If you change your mind, you can add them back in later. Blocking a friend, on the other hand, is more permanent. When you select this option, you will not only remove them from your list of friends, but you will also remove yourself from theirs. They will no longer be able to see your Snap score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This option may take a little longer, but it will still work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Begin by sending fewer snaps to those you want to be removed from your best friends list while sending more to others. Simply put, interacting with others causes the algorithm to change the status of your contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also limit your interactions with your undesirable best friend by muting their stories, messages, and notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All you have to do is take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method may be more suitable if you want to remove someone from your list of best friends in a less dramatic manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You learned about Snapchat’s algorithm at the beginning of this article. Reduce your interaction with the person in question as a simple solution to this problem. By sending fewer snaps and messages, the algorithm will begin to track the change, altering your best friend’s status over time. You may have to wait 10 to 15 days for this to happen, but you’ll undoubtedly agree it’s a much more subtle way of doing things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, remember that the time period will vary depending on how many contacts you have and how frequently you interact with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t worry; your Snapchat best friends are only visible to you. They are, however, visible on your screen. You can easily hide them from view if you don’t want to see them or if you don’t want someone else to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the Send to screen, you can’t hide who your best friends are, but you can on the Chat screen. Here’s how it’s done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
