Unlike many other social media apps like Instagram, you are not allowed to have 2 Snapchat account. However, there are some ways to go around it. Particularly, if you are using an Android device. 

Other social media apps like Instagram allow for up to 5 accounts. And within the app itself, you can switch between accounts easily. 

However, Snapchat is the opposite of this. It only allows you to have just one account. This can be frustrating for some people who want to use Snapchat for personal and for business purposes. 

Although Snapchat is targeted more towards teenagers, it is also used by many influencers who still want a private account not connected to their public account. 

Despite the restrictions on Snapchat not allowing dual accounts, there are ways around it if you have a Samsung and Xiaomi phone. You can create 2 Snapchat account on a single device.
