Over time the company has tried to further distinguish itself from Facebook, which is a large megaphone in comparison.
Snap says that the new friend check up feature will roll out to Android users ‘in the coming weeks’ and to iOS users ‘in the coming months’. However, you don’t have to depend on this feature to check your friends list and remove any friends you want to.
