I've been trying to migrate away from snapchat for years now because everything about it irritates me but I've still got like 3 stragglers for whom it is my main form of communication.
Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked

Mine is named "Corpo spam and slop"

TikTok did the same shit back when I used it. It's weird because I've always kept my internet life separate from my personal life, and now every app is begging to show my closest friends and family my shitposts, political takes and NSFW content. I'm mostly done with traditional social media by now at this point anyway. I've managed to kick tiktok and am now permanently banned from reddit so hopefully I won't get sucked back in.

I'm pretty sure they connect it to your device ID
Chaunticleer 8 points 14 hours ago
If you logged in using a phone number they're referencing you from other people who have you in their contacts.
If you tell them no, they just dick you from another angle
StarvingMartist 2 points 13 hours ago
Yup, you just gotta do it once

This is what I thought too until I noticed the contacts listed were using the names I have for them - "apprehension", "brazzle", "dizzy", "momster", "Jared who hit me".
They're not using another angle to dick people over, they're just ignoring security preferences and blaming us for getting mad

maybe you've allowed contacts in the OS?

Tell them you're moving on. It's not worth it. If they're really your friends, you can find another way. If they don't, they only care about the way you are on Snap. That's hollow.

I was in the same situation as you. Just message them elsewhere and delete it. Everyone who wasn't willing to message me on a better platform turned out to not be that worth interacting with. All the real ones did what they could to keep talking to me without hesitation and respected my reasoning

I had that issue too, and contacted support! Turns out There is this guy from Swaziland, whose name happens to be Team Snapchat (you couldn’t make this shit up). So Mr. Snapchat and Team Snapchat’s accounts keep on colliding with one another… on Snapchat!

Don't use META products. Delete your Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat accounts. Tell everyone you know.

Snapchat isn't owned by Meta?
DudeImMacGyver 2 points 3 hours ago
My mistake? It's tough to keep track of which evil megacorporation owns which.

Snap Inc. is its own company. Not that it is a good company.
