Snapchat is a social app popular among millennials and Gen-Z. Although the app itself doesn’t support logging into two Snap accounts at a time, many users do find a way to set up multiple profiles. For example, a young woman recently saw her long-distance boyfriend toggling between Snapchat accounts while video chatting. This made her suspect he had additional profiles she didn’t know about1. If you, too, ever wonder whether someone has more than one Snapchat account, here are 6 ways to find out…
1. Uncover available social media accounts with TruthFinder
Whenever you want to search for information about people, you may want to make TruthFinder your first stop. Featuring millions of public record data sources, TruthFinder allows you to enter just a name to go full-on detective on people: their personal contact information, associated social media accounts (Snapchat included), assets, properties owned, and criminal and traffic records, and more, if available.
- To search for someone’s Snapchat account(s), go to the TruthFinder official website.
- Pop in their name and click SEARCH.
- Once TruthFinder matches available public records with your search info, you’ll receive a detailed background report. After you have purchased a membership plan, you may be able to find out how active the person is on social networking platforms by viewing the Social section of the report.
The above image is from a sample TruthFinder report. Actual TruthFinder reports may contain more or less information.

Social Catfish got its name from helping people verify online identities and spot dating scams. Over the years, it has evolved into a sophisticated social media search engine with a massive database of 200+ billion records. So, if you suspect someone has a second Snapchat account, Social Catfish can definitely give you the answer.

3. Track down hidden Snapchat accounts with Spokeo
Spokeo is another powerful choice in the social media search department. So far, it supports searching for someone on 120+ social networks, which means that not only can you locate someone’s available Snapchat accounts, but also find their footprint on networks like Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, Hinge, OnlyFans, OkCupid, and so on.
- To find out if someone has multiple Snapchat accounts, go to Spokeo Official Website.
- Enter the name/phone number/email address/username, and click SEARCH NOW.
- Wait a few seconds for Spokeo to generate a report for the person you searched for. From the report, you can get a peek into the person’s basic info like email address(es), phone number(s), family members, social media profiles, and so on.
4. Check Snap scores
The Snap score is a number that reflects the total snaps sent and received on an account. Typically, the longer someone has used Snapchat, the higher their score will be (like, in the tens or hundreds of thousands). If you’re dealing with an account with a score of around one or two thousand, it could point to a recently created secondary profile.
5. Ask mutual friends
If you share friends with your suspect, discreetly ask around to see what others know. Has anyone spotted a new account with the person’s name or handle? Have they unwittingly added it themselves? Gather your mutual connections, you never know what useful information may come to light.
6. Ask directly, if appropriate
If you have a close or well-established relationship with the person, directly asking about a potential second account may be feasible. As an example, a young woman2 shared her experience finding out her boyfriend had created a second Snapchat account. Several commenters advised her to confront him directly but casually, without accusing, to gauge his reaction and explanation.
Conclusion
Finding out that someone may have multiple Snapchat accounts can certainly raise questions. While in some cases it may point to harmless reasons like maintaining separate friend groups, it can also signal deception like hiding interactions and relationships, as pointed out by contributors to an online relationship advice post3. This is why we put together 6 methods. Motivations for investigating someone’s social media presence further include suspicion due to changes in behavior or long-distance relationships. But ultimately, open and direct communication is always important. Good luck!
