2. Type a name into the search bar. Ensure it’s the correct username because several names will pop up as you search.
3. Once you identify the person you intend to add to your list, press the Add option.

If you don’t see them on the results list, click View More to see more results. Once you see their name, click Add a friend to add them to your Snapchat.
