Remove tracking
Remove tracking from Snapchat links
Snapchat share URLs carry sc_referrer and sc_ua — parameters that identify how links enter the Snapchat ecosystem and which client they came from. They can be safely removed.

Before and after
What Snapchat tracks in shared links
sc_referrer identifies the surface the link came from (in-app share, web, notification). sc_ua is a user-agent-derived identifier pinpointing the sharing client. Together they let Snapchat map sharing patterns between users.
Snapchat tracking parameters explained
- sc_referrer
- Share origin surface (in-app, web, notification).
- sc_ua
- User-agent-derived identifier for the sharing client.
Frequently asked questions
- Does removing these break the Snapchat link?
- No — the link resolves to the same profile, lens, or content without the tracking parameters.
