Guide to securing your Snapchat account

1. Open Snapchat.
2. Tap on your profile.

1. Go to Settings, then tap Password.
2. Set a new password. Learn more about creating strong passwords.

1. Go to Settings, then tap Two-Factor Authentication.

You can report any message by pressing and holding on any snap and then choosing Report Snap. For more help:

You can choose to remove a friend or to block a friend.

1. Swipe right to go to the Chat screen.
2. Tap and hold on a name, then tap More.
3. You can choose either Remove Friend or Block Friend.

When you remove someone, they will still be able to view any content you have set to public. They may also still be able to contact you with a Chat or Snap, depending on your settings (see Step 5). When you block a friend, they won’t be able to view your Story or send you Snaps or Chats.
