Knowing how to hide your Snapchat score from other Snapchat friends or contacts is a handy way to stay in control of who sees your profile information. Unfortunately, there is no way to hide your Snapchat score completely from all your friends. However, by using any one of the simple methods outlined in this guide, you’ll be able to hide it from certain people and keep your information private.

Snapchat records all of the snaps you have sent and received, and then creates a total Snapchat score that is visible to other Snapchat users. Having this information visible on your profile is an aspect of Snapchat’s system that many would like to keep private. By blocking or removing a friend or limiting who can contact you, you can stop certain people from seeing this information.

Quick Answer

Go to your User profile > Settings > Contact Me > Friends > Ok. Or, go to your User profile > Friends > My Friends > Select friend > Manage Friendship > Block or remove friend.

Hide your score by limiting who can contact you

One method of hiding your Snapchat score is by limiting who can contact you and subsequently see your profile.

Step

1

Open Snapchat

Open the Snapchat app, head to the message icon page and select your user icon in the top left corner.

Step

2

Go to Settings

Click on the settings icon in the top left corner.

Step

3

Select the ‘Contact Me’ option

Scroll through the settings until you find the privacy controls section. Then find and select the ‘Contact Me’ option.

Step

4

Select the ‘Friends’ option

After selecting the ‘Contact Me’ option a page will appear that gives you the option to have ‘Friends and contacts’ or just ‘Friends’ contact you. Select the ‘Friends’ option, this will mean that only the people you have added as a friend will be able to message you and see your Snapchat score.

Blocking or removing a friend will hide your score from them

The second method of hiding your Snapchat score is by blocking or removing a particular friend you don't want to see your profile information.

Step

1

Open Snapchat

Open the Snapchat app, head to the message icon page and select your user icon in the top left corner.

Step

2

Select the ‘My Friends’

Scroll through the settings until you reach the ‘Friends’ section. Then select the ‘My Friends’ option.

Step

3

Select a friend

From the list of friends select which one you would like to remove. Then click on the three dots in the top right corner.

Step

4

Block or remove friend

Select the ‘Manage Friendship’ option, from there either block or remove your friend. If you change your mind later, you can unblock the user on Snapchat and add them as a friend again.

Can you pause your Snapchat score?

Your Snapchat score will continue to increase if you’re still sending and receiving Snapchats. Unfortunately, there is no way to pause your Snapchat score, and unless you follow one of the methods listed above, everyone in your contacts and friends list will be able to see your Snapchat score.

Conclusion

Hiding your Snapchat score is a handy way to keep some of your profile information private. Although Snapchat does not have an option to hide your Snapchat score completely, you can hide it from certain contacts by either removing a friend or limiting who can contact you. Follow one of the methods outlined above to hide your Snapchat score and keep your information private.
