Deleting unwanted people from your Snapchat friends list is a great way to keep the list uncluttered. We'll show you how to do that in Snapchat on your iPhone or Android phone.

When you delete a Snapchat friend, they can't see your private Stories and Charms. They can still send you Snaps and Chats if you allow this in your privacy settings. They can also view all your content that is set as public.
