How Can I Get Someone’s Number From Snapchat?

There are quite some ways to get someone’s number from Snapchat. It is important to know that you cannot get someone’s number directly from Snapchat.

There is no Snapchat feature that can help you to do that. Here are some methods you can use to get someone’s phone number from Snapchat:

1. Ask the Person For Their Phone Number

One of the simplest ways to get someone’s number on Snapchat is to ask them. Either by text or video call, you can ask the person to send you their number, via the Snapchat app.

If you do not know the person, there is a high chance they will not give you their number, so you need to build a connection with that person before asking for their number outright.

You can do that by starting a streak or a conversation with the person on Snapchat. And from there if you communicate often and request their phone number they’ll likely give it to you.

2. Use Facebook

Facebook is another means by which you can get someone’s number on Snapchat. Once you have the person’s Facebook details, you can see if their phone number is available on their contact information.

If you don’t have the person’s Facebook name you’ll not be able to check it out. Most people on Snapchat are on Facebook, but many are not. So the person might or might not be on Facebook.

We’ve written a detailed guide on how you can get someone’s phone number on Facebook. Under the About section, their number may be listed there.

3. Ask A Mutual Friend

You could also ask a mutual friend of the person to send you their number. Snapchat encourages community building, so it is easy to locate a friend of a friend.

You can also check the person’s Snapchat story to see who they usually tag, add that person, and ask them for their friend’s number.

If you outright ask them for the number, you may not get it, so you must build a connection with them before asking for their friend’s phone number.

Although, if you ask them for their friend’s number and they say no, it’s because they don’t know you, or the person can’t give out his friend’s phone number.

But you might also get it’s a boy, if it’s a girl you may likely not get it, except they’ll want to be in contact with you first on the app before they move anything further.

Conclusion

Snapchat does not release public information about its users due to privacy and security reasons. However, there are other ways to get someone’s phone number on Snapchat.

You can ask the person, use Facebook, or ask a mutual friend to find someone’s number on Snapchat. The best possible way for you to do this is to ask the person.

There’s no other way to get a phone number if you don’t ask, unlike Facebook where the user might allow the public or friends to view their phone number.
