What will the Quick Add section prevent people from viewing your Snap Score?

The Quick Add section in Snapchat is a way to discover new friends and connect with new people. You can also find your friends, family members and other acquaintances on the app. You will be able to see many suggestions in the Quick Add section including your friends and family. Snapchat has algorithms that work behind the scenes and suggest you people in the Quick Add section on the basis of location, similar interests, similar content consumed and created, and mutuals? 

The Quick Add works from both ends. If you are able to see various people in your Quick Add suggestions, then your username will also be visible to many people. Sometimes, your username is also visible to people whom you don’t know and are completely strangers. Therefore, if a stranger opens your profile, they will be able to see your details and your Snapscore.  

So as to prevent and hide your profile and snap score from strangers, you can turn off the Quick Add section. Though you can not directly turn off the Quick Add section, you can prevent your username from being suggested to strangers in the Quick Add section. You can go to the Snapchat settings and disable the Show Me in the Quick Add section. Therefore, your username will not be suggested to strangers and no one will be able to have a look at your profile and Snap Score.

Can Enabling Ghost Mode Protect Your Snap Score?

As there are many features on Snapchat, there is a Location feature too. As you know the Location feature allows you to add your Location on Snapchat. This is the current location that you share with your friends. Also, you will be visible on Snapchat Maps where you will be able to locate many friends and some strangers who are at the same location where you are. This is a great feature as you can find many friends at the same location.

But this can be concerning because your profile will be visible to many Snapchat users. Though they may be at the same location where you are, it is not necessary that they are your friends. Therefore, they can find your profile and open it too. As a result, your Snap score will also be visible to them.

However, to prevent this, you would have to disable your current location on Snapchat. Though you cannot directly disable your current location on Snapchat, you can hide yourself on Snapchat. This can be done by enabling Ghost mode on Snapchat.

Enabling Ghost Mode will hide you from the Snapchat maps and as a result none of your friends and strangers will not be able to locate you. This will protect your profile and prevent people from seeing your Snap score.

If you want to enable Ghost Mode on Snapchat, you can go through the following steps.

Step 1

Open Snapchat on your device.

Step 2

Tap on the Snapchat Maps icon visible at the bottom left corner. You will be able to see the Snapchat Maps option on the left side of the Chat icon at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3

You will be able to see the Snapchat Map on your screen. Tap on the Gear option at the top right corner of the Screen.

Step 4

You will be able to see the Ghost Mode on the Screen and a slider next to it.

Tap on the slider and Ghost Mode will be enabled. 

You can also select for what duration you want to enable the Ghost Mode. Select between the options from 3 hours, 24 hours, and Until Turned Off.

Limiting people who can contact you on Snapchat.

Limiting the people who can contact you on Snapchat will also allow you to hide your Snap Score from certain people. If you limit the people who can contact you, then your Snapscore will be hidden from those who you don’t allow to contact you.

If you want to limit the number of people who can contact you on Snapchat, then follow the steps below.

Step 1

Open Snapchat on your device.

Step 2

Tap on the Avatar at the left corner of the screen.

Step 3

Now, tap on the Gear option to access the Snapchat settings.

Step 4

Now, scroll and locate the Privacy Settings.

Step 5

Under the Privacy Settings, you will be able to see the Contact Me option.

Step 6

Tap on the Contact Me option and then you will be able to see three options i.e. Friends, Friends and Contacts, and Everyone. Tap on the Friends option.

Your settings have been changed. Now, only your friends will be able to contact you on Snapchat.

Conclusion

As Snapchat is famous for its Snaps and Snap score, it is visible on your profile too. Snap score indicates all your activity on the app. It indicates how actively you use the app. The snaps you sent, received and the stores you posted are all clubbed and shown as the Snap score. However, some users are not comfortable if their snap score is visible to various users. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that if someone views your profile, they will also view your snap score.

However, you can hide your snap score but not directly. As Snapchat doesn’t allow you to directly hide your Snap score, you can make some changes in your Snapchat settings and hide your Snap Score. To hide your snap score, you can either remove or block those whom you don’t want to view your snap score. Also, you can limit the people who can contact you. In this way, you will restrict many people from contacting you who will also not be able to see your Snap Score.

As you know people can view your profile through your Snapchat location, and as they open your profile, they will be able to view your Snap score too. However, you can either change your location settings and limit the people who can view your profile, or you can enable the Ghost mode on Snapchat. After enabling Ghost mode, no one will be able to locate your profile on Snapchat maps and your score will not be visible to them.
