Did you know that you can add friends to your Snapchat group and share multiple photos, videos, and even locations with them all at once? What you might not know is that there’s a way to remove someone from your group. You see, when you add friends to your Snapchat group, you can only add them one time. Once they’ve been added, you won’t be able to re-add them again. That means if a friend adds you back to their group after removing you, they will remain in your group unless you take action. If the thought of having that person in your group makes you cringe, read on for how to remove someone from a Snapchat group.
