What is Snapchat Friend Check Up?
Snapchat Friend Check Up is a feature within the app that premiered in 2021.
Business Insider India reported on it at the time, saying that it allows users to review their friends list.
Using “a single tap” Snapchat users can review their friends list and clean out those who they haven’t chatted with in a long period of time.
If users don’t want someone to see their location on the Snap Map, they can remove them through this list.
Through this feature, users can also adjust their privacy settings to customize who can see their content.
The feature displays a reminder to Snapchat users to clean their friends list.
Where can I find the Snapchat Friend Check Up?
The outlet reported that the feature is displayed below the users’ name on the profile page.
Tapping on it opens their friends list and that is where they can then check to see which friends they’d like to keep or remove.
