Do you want to delete someone from a Snapchat group? While you can't directly remove another user from an existing group, you can always set up a new group with the users you want to keep. You can also ask a user to leave a Snapchat group if both parties want to disband. This wikiHow will show you how to add and remove someone from groups on Snapchat using your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

Things You Should Know

• You can't delete a user from a Snapchat group. You'll need to make a new group or ask them to leave.
• To create a new group, tap the "Chat" tab. Tap the "New Chat" icon, select the friends you want to add, then tap "Chat with Group".
• To leave a group, long-press on the group in the "Chat" tab. Tap "Leave Group", then "Leave".
