What is what does it mean when you are following someone on snapchat?

When you follow someone on Snapchat, it essentially means you've added them as a friend. This allows you to:

• See their public stories: You can view any publicly shared content they post on their story. This includes pictures and videos they choose to share with all their friends. Learn more about Snapchat%20Stories.

• Send them Snaps and Chats: You can directly send them private photos, videos (Snaps), and text messages (Chats). Discover Snapchat%20Chat features.

• View their Snap Map location (if shared): If they have location sharing enabled, you might be able to see their approximate location on the Snap Map. Consider Snapchat%20Map.

• See their score (potentially): Depending on their privacy settings, you may be able to see their overall Snapchat score, which is a rough measure of their activity on the platform. Find out about Snapchat%20Score.

In short, "following" on Snapchat establishes a two-way connection (unless someone has you added but you haven't added them back, in which case it's a one-way relationship and you won't see their private content). They must also follow you for you to see specific private content.
