Let’s Discuss How Can You Remove Someone from a Snapchat Group?
Just to make the number 31 you may add someone which you later regret and want to remove from the Snapchat group. Unfortunately, Snapchat doesn’t allow you to remove someone from the Snapchat group, even if you are the one who created the group and added them, You still cannot remove someone from the group. Here is what you can do instead of removing someone from the Snapchat group:
- You can create a new Snapchat group and add all your friends there and leave the old group and ask your friends to leave the group if they may want.
- You can ask the person itself to leave the group too, instead of creating a new group.
How Can You Create a New Snapchat Group?
Here are the very easy steps to create a new Snapchat group:
- Open your Snapchat app.
- Click on the new chat icon in the top right corner of the chat screen.
- Add the friends you want in the group – a maximum of 31 people. You can only add people who are in your friends’ list on Snapchat.
- Give a name to your group.
- Avoid that one person which you want to remove from your old Snapchat group.
Now after taking a snap you can send that directly to your group by choosing the group you created in the send snaps screen. Each member of the group will be able to see the snap shared and who has seen the snap.
Another way to create a group is:
- Open your Snapchat app.
- Take a snap and edit it however you want: add filters, emojis, draw on it or keep it as it is.
- Send the snap by clicking the blue arrow on the bottom right corner.
