Snapchat in My Contacts but Not in My Phone Contacts
If you’re wondering why someone you know is showing up in your Snapchat contacts but not in your phone contacts, it’s likely due to one of the following reasons:
1. They added you to their Snapchat using your phone number but didn’t add your phone number to their contacts list.
2. You added them to your Snapchat using their username or Snapcode, but they didn’t add you back using any of your phone numbers.
3. You and the other person have mutual friends on Snapchat, which allows you to see each other’s profiles even if you’re not in each other’s phone contacts.
4. The other person is on your Snapchat contact list from a previous phone number of yours.
5. The other person is using a third-party app to connect with Snapchat, which allows them to hide their phone number from you.
6. The other person has recently deleted you from their Snapchat contacts, but their profile hasn’t yet been removed from your contact list.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you’re not sure why someone you know is in your Snapchat contacts but not in your phone contacts, you can try the following troubleshooting tips:
1. **Check to see if the person has your phone number saved in their contacts list.** You can do this by asking them directly or by sending them a text message and seeing if they respond.
2. **Try adding the person to your Snapchat using their username or Snapcode.** If they add you back, they will be added to your phone contacts list.

5. **If you’re using a third-party app to connect with Snapchat, you may need to disable the app to see if that resolves the issue.**
