Ever see someone post a story like: "AMOS if we've never snapped 👻" or "AMOS I'm bored lol" And think... wait, what does AMOS even mean? Let's decode it — because this one's mostly a Snapchat thing, but you'll see it pop up across TikTok, Instagram, and more.
AMOS = Add Me On Snapchat. Yep, that's it. It's a casual, shorthand way to invite people to connect on Snap — especially common in stories, bios, or comments when someone's trying to grow their Snap friends list or start convos.
On Snapchat, it's pretty self-explanatory. Someone will post "AMOS" with their Snap username, a selfie, or a snap code, inviting others to add them. But lately, AMOS has spread beyond Snapchat — thanks to TikTok trends and Instagram stories. You might see: TikTok comments: "AMOS I need new ppl to talk to fr" Instagram stories: "AMOS — I'll respond to every snap lol" IG bios or highlights with: "👻 AMOS: [username]" It's especially popular among Gen Z and teens, but not exclusively. It's all about opening up convos, meeting new people, or just… killing time with strangers on Snap.
Usually one of three reasons: • They're bored and want to chat • They're growing a public/private Snap • They're riding a trend or doing it ironically It's kind of like modern-day AIM or MSN — but with filters, emojis, and 3-second disappearing messages. 😅
