How to find someone on Facebook with a Snapchat name

Today, many people have to be registered in more than one social network at the same time. This is due to the fact that different social networks offer different options for communication, as well as offer different interesting features that you can use when communicating with your friends or family.

When it comes to Facebook and Snapchat, these are two huge social networks that are popular all over the world. Of course, Snapchat is more common among young people. But young people also use Facebook.

Sometimes there are situations when you have added someone on Snapchat and you want to find them on Facebook just the same. Most likely the easiest way to do this is to simply ask your friend on Snapchat how he or she is signed on Facebook. And that will solve the question. But if your friend doesn’t answer or you just want to do it yourself, there are a few options to find your friend on Facebook. Here’s more about these options.

How to add someone on Facebook using a Snapchat user’s real name

Probably the easiest thing you can do is just try typing your Snapchat friend’s name into a Facebook search. If the name is real, you’re more likely to find the person you want among hundreds of others with the same first and last names. But what should you do if your friend’s name on Snapchat is a pseudonym or just a fake name?

First of all, you can try to find out a Snapchat user’s real name. If you want to do so, you have to follow these steps:

  • Open Snapchat on your mobile device and sign in to your account, if needed.
  • Tap “My friends” and select the friend’s profile you want to view.
  • If a person has made his profile public and used his real name, then you can try to find him or her on Facebook.

In case the real name of the person is hidden, you can use the following method.

How to find someone from Snapchat on Facebook using contacts

Alternatively, you can try to find your friend from Snapchat on Facebook using your phone contacts. So how can you do this? First, you need to sync Snapchat with the contacts on your smartphone.

  • Open Snapchat on your smartphone.
  • Then, tap on your profile icon and scroll down to “Friends” section.
  • After that, tap “Add Friends” and select “All contacts” in the top right corner of the screen. There you can see who from your contacts has a Snapchat account.

Once you have completed these steps, remember the name of the contact who has Snapchat. You will be able to add it to your Facebook after it will sync with your contacts. To do so on an Android device, you have to follow these steps:

  • Go to the “Settings” app, scroll down to find and tap on “Account & Sync” option.
  • Select “Facebook” and tap “Synchronize”.

If you want to do so on your iPhone, you have to follow these steps:

  • Go to the “Settings” app and search for “Facebook”.
  • Select it and enable “Contacts” in the menu.
  • After that, tap “Update All Contacts”.

Once you have done these steps, you will be able to add your friend from Snapchat on Facebook.
