Can You Have 2 Snapchat Accounts? And How to Add Them

At times, one Snapchat account is not sufficient for some users.

If you are running a business, it’s good to have 2 Snapchat accounts—one can be used for business, and the other one can be used for personal.

This way, you will be able to separate your friends from your customers.

In addition, it prevents you from posting your business stories in your personal account.

If you do have a second account on Snapchat, you can add random people on it too.

If you only have 1 Snapchat account, if you will add too many users on it, you will not be able to keep track of your close friends.

In addition, you will not want to share your stories with unknown people.

In this guide, I will tell you whether you can have 2 Snapchat accounts, and how to add 2 Snapchat accounts on one phone (for both iPhone and Android devices).

Can you have 2 Snapchat accounts?

Yes, you can have 2 Snapchat accounts to use.

Snapchat also allows users to add more than 1 account on the application as other social media sites like Twitter and Instagram are offering.

The reason is that social media sites are familiar with the fact that some users need more than one account.

That is why they have released updates to make it possible to use more than one account.

For instance, you can use up to 5 accounts on Instagram, on a single device.

A single tap is required to manage these accounts.

It is easy to understand the reason of having two accounts, you might want to keep your personal and private life separate.

The rest of the users want to create a second Snapchat account just in case something bad happens to their first account.

In a nutshell, everyone’s account is not safe from hackers.

Secondly, you can use 2 accounts as a hedge against hackers and bans.

For instance, if your primary account gets hacked, you can always use your secondary account then.
