Did you know that Snapchat has over 800 million monthly active users globally? It’s true. And on average, Snapchat users spend about 30 minutes on the app, sending and receiving pics, videos, and messages to friends (and even strangers).
That’s a lot of messages — and a lot of potentially controversial photos and videos. That’s not just a blind assumption. The truth is kids (and especially teens) love Snapchat because of the app’s disappearing messages feature.
The feature has attracted a lot of users to the platform, particularly those who want to chat with people without getting caught.
If you’re concerned about your own teen, you probably want to know can you see who someone is Snapchatting? The good news is you can — and it’s easier than you think.

3 Methods to Find Out Who Someone Is Snapping
Is there a way to see who someone is snapping? Definitely. In fact, you’ve got a few options at your disposal. We’ve included three of the best options, including two free options and one that works without them knowing. Which one will you choose?
Method #1: mSpy
If you want to see who they are snapping and what they’re saying, consider mSpy. The monitoring app is trusted by parents all over the world to provide key insights into their kids’ Snapchat activity.
When you install mSpy on their phone, you’ll have access to their private chats. That means that not only will you be able to see who they’re chatting with, but you’ll also be able to see what they’re saying.
To find out their Snapchat contacts, just look for Snapchat on the left nav bar of your mSpy account, click Snapchat, and then hit the little person icon. If you want to see their conversations, follow the same process, but click the chat icon instead of the person icon.
And you know those deleted snaps? mSpy’s thought of that too. Just look for the Screenrecorder feature on the left nav bar to see screenshots of their Snapchat convos.
Main Advantage: You can see who someone is snapping whenever you want. And they’ll never know you’re looking.
Method #2: Download Their Snap Data
You can download their Snapchat data by logging into Snapchat on the web. You’ll need to know their Snapchat credentials for this method to work. If you know that info, you can find out a lot about who they’re chatting with.
Once logged in, click ‘Setting’s, then select ‘My Data’. Next, simply choose the data you want to download, along with a date range.
Main Advantage: This method is free and great if you have a lot of time on your hands (the download process isn’t quick).
Method #3: Look for Snapstreaks
Sometimes, the best way to see who someone is Snapchatting doesn’t involve fancy software at all. Snapchat has a unique feature built right in that puts a spotlight on frequent conversations.
It’s called Snapstreaks, and it provides a window into their conversation history — and possible relationships.
When you chat with someone more than 3 consecutive days in a row, you’ll be on a Snapstreak. Snapchat lets you know by displaying a little fire emoji on your chat screen.
If you happen to glance at their phone and notice a fire emoji on a conversation, it means that they’ve snapped (sent Snapchat messages) to that contact several days in a row. Snapchat also displays a number next to that icon for even more ways to find out who someone is snapping. The number represents the number of consecutive days they’ve chatted.
So, if you see 152 🔥 next to someone’s name, you’ll know that the person they’re snapping is pretty significant.
Main Advantage: This method can reveal a lot about the important people in their life. Just glance and you’ll know.
Why You Can’t Beat mSpy
Can you see who someone is Snapchatting with all three methods covered above? You bet. But if you’re looking for the most powerful option that won’t let you down, mSpy is it.
mSpy doesn’t just let you see who they are snapping. You can also see who they’re talking to on other social media platforms. WhatsApp. Messenger. Line. Kik. Instagram. Tinder. And so many more.
You can see how mSpy works by checking out the free demo. If you like what you see, it’s so easy to install on their device thanks to several different install options. Try it now.
