3. Ask the user to open their Snapchat app and see their Snapcode by clicking on their profile icon on the top left of the app. The dotted yellow box on their logo is their Snapcode.

Point your camera at the user’s Snapcode and tap and hold the screen for a few seconds before releasing it. The camera should automatically scan the Snapcode and find their account.

5. Tap Add Friend to add that person to your Snapchat contact list.

It’s worth noting that you don’t necessarily need to be with someone to verify their Snapcode.

Your phone can also scan a screenshot or photo of their Snapcode to find their Snapchat account.
