Hello,
I need your help.
To summarize, my husband's Snapchat account showed up in my suggestions.
He claims to have never created an account and that he will clean up his phone because of numerous fraudulent calls on it. After the cleanup, his account had disappeared from my suggestions.
I doubt that an account can be created by itself and that it can be automatically deleted after a cleanup.
Can someone confirm this?
Thank you :)

Hello,

Another solution is possible.

Your husband's number was assigned to another person before, and that person may have had a Snap account that has since been abandoned.

Because on Snap, there is a history of finding the Snap account holder of the number.
For example, my daughter had created hers on a dual session on my phone, and the day I called someone with a Snap, that person said to me: "But why do you have a girl's account?"

Even though I don't have one myself.

Thank you very much for your response.
However, he has had the same number for at least 10 years, and the account has only recently appeared.

So I can't explain to you why.
Was the app pre-installed on this phone, and did they possibly open it by mistake?

Because in no case can it open behind our backs.

One could even think that a person created an account by entering a fake number or by mistake, and it is your husband who ends up suffering the consequences.
