How do I create a public profile on Snapchat?

Hi there! I just went through this myself, so let me walk you through it. First off, Snapchat only lets you create a Public Profile if you’re over 18 and your account has been around for a little while (not brand new). Go to your profile page, scroll down until you see “Public Profile” or “Create Public Profile” under the “Public Profiles” section. Tap it, accept the terms, and boom—you’re set. Once made, you’ll have access to features like adding a bio, profile photo, and highlights. Your Snaps and Stories can then be seen by subscribers and not just friends. When I did mine, it took just a few minutes, but I remember being nervous thinking I needed tons of followers first (you don’t). Just make sure you’ve followed Snapchat’s community guidelines—if you’ve had issues or violations, you may not see the option.

Scroll down your profile and hit “Create Public Profile.” If you don’t see it, your account may not meet requirements yet—age, account age, or no recent violations. Otherwise, it’s simple setup.

Hey! Open your profile, scroll to “Public Profiles,” and hit Create Public Profile. Quick setup, but only shows if you meet Snapchat’s eligibility rules.
