What comes back from one username
Four parts of their Snapchat that you never see from their profile, all on one result page.
Best Friends, in order
Up to eight people they snap and chat with most, ranked from the closest down, so you see who's at the top.
Snap score
The number Snapchat builds from the snaps they send and get and the stories they post.
Who gets their snaps
The people they're snapping now, read next to the Best Friends order, so a fresh name stands out.
My Eyes Only
The memories they moved into My Eyes Only, the folder Snapchat keeps behind a passcode of its own.
Why you can't see it yourself
Snapchat keeps a Best Friends list of up to eight people, and nobody but the owner can see the whole list.

How a lookup goes
It runs in your browser. There's no app to install and no login needed.
Press Look up a Snapchat username
The button at the top of this page starts the lookup.
Type their username
Use the username under their display name on the profile, letter for letter. The display name is often different.
Read the result
Their Best Friends in order, the snap score, who gets their snaps and what sits in My Eyes Only, on one page.
Look again later
Snapchat updates Best Friends regularly, so a second lookup a few days later can show a new order.
Weigh it up
What a lookup does well, and where it stops.
Good to know
- One username is all it asks for, with no friend request sent.
- The four parts come back together, so you can read them next to each other.
- The person you look up is never told.
Where it stops
- A typo in the username finds nobody. Copy it from their profile so you know it's right.
- The order is a moment: Best Friends move as their snapping changes.
- A snap score counts activity, not people. Read it with the Best Friends order.
What people ask about Ghostdroid
What people ask before, during and after their first lookup.
Before
Is Ghostdroid real?
Yes. Type a username and the result page opens in your browser with their Best Friends, snap score, who gets their snaps and My Eyes Only.
Do I need a Ghostdroid app or a login?
No. It runs in the browser on your phone or computer, and it asks for their username, never your Snapchat password.
During
Which name do I type?
The username shown under their display name on the profile. The display name can be anything and will not match.
What if nothing comes back?
Check the spelling first, every dot and symbol included, then run the lookup again.
After
Will they know I looked?
No. Nothing is sent to their account and no friend request goes out.
Why did their Best Friends change since last time?
Snapchat updates the list regularly as their snapping changes, so each lookup shows the order of that moment.
