How To Hide Your Snap Score?
If someone intends to check your snap score they can see it by visiting your Snapchat profile. Only when you follow each other. Making it easier to filter out people, who you do not want to have access to your profile information. You can do so by removing them from your follower’s list, as starters.
However, it is quite unfortunate, that there is no way you can hide your Snap scores from the people, who you have added as a friend, on Snapchat. We can only hope and pray for Snapchat to introduce additional privacy options regarding our Snap scores, in the near future.
So does that mean, we have no control in this matter?
We do have some control. Snapchat offers its users the option to utilize the privacy settings, available in the application to make sure that only a limited no of people can add their profile, in its entirety.
How to start with this process of ‘hide and seek’:
- Open the application & tap on the Bitmoji icon, on the upper left-hand corner.
- After spotting that, tap on the gear icon of the page, which will direct you to the settings menu.
- You have to now scroll down to the section, saying ‘Who can…’ .
- You have reached your destination. The privacy settings of the social media network, Snapchat.
- Now, set visibility for everything either to ‘My Friends’ or ‘Only Me’, depending upon your privacy criteria.
And, you are done.
