Did someone send you “Ft?” on Snapchat and now you’re wondering what they want? We’re here to help! In this article we’ll cover everything you need to know about what Ft means on Snapchat.

Meaning of FT in a Text

    • You do not need to exit the app to video chat with someone if you’re using Snapchat’s software.
    • You can only video chat with someone if they’re on your friends list.
