What is quick add on Snapchat?

When users open the Snapchat app, they are greeted with an icon in the top right corner that has an outline of a person and a plus sign next to it.

If you click on that icon, a “quick add” section comes up with a number of different users.

The section is meant for users to find friends easily from both contacts and mutual friends.

If a user knows one of the users listed, they can simply hit the add button next to their name to send a friend request instantly.

This feature often eliminates having to scan a user’s Snapcode or search by username.

What is a Snapcode?

While some users might pop up in the quick add section, there are some times when that doesn’t happen.

In the event that you have a harder time finding someone on Snapchat, the app has launched a Snapcode feature to make it easier.

When you open the app, users can click their profile and it will pull up a yellow square with multiple circles in it.

If another user scans the square within the Snapchat app, your profile will then be brought up for instant adding.

Users can also send a picture of their Snapcode to someone they wish to befriend and then upload it in the add friends section to find the user’s profile.

Who owns Snapchat?

Snapchat was first launched in 2011 and has since become one of the most popular social media sites around.

The company is owned by the original founders, Evan Spiegel, 31, and Bobby Murphy, 33.

Along with owning the platform, Spiegel is also the acting CEO and owns 13% of the company while Murphy serves as the chief technology officer and owns 15% of the company.

The two developed the idea alongside Reggie Brown while they were students at Stanford University.
