The user can choose whether to add a mobile number to the Snapchat account, but this option will be convenient for your friends to search you. We do not display your contact number to other users, nor do we support locating the phone number based on a username. "Theoretically, if someone can upload a huge collection of numbers, such as all the numbers in a region, or all the numbers in the United States, they can create a result database and match the username to the phone number," says Snapchat. Over the past year, we have deployed a variety of security measures to make this pattern of misappropriation more difficult. We have recently added new responses and will continue to implement improvements. ”
