The first 21 people you need to follow when you download Snapchat

Snapchat

Snapchat can be difficult to understand. The app is confusing to navigate at first, and it's not immediately clear how to find people to follow outside of who's in your phone's contact list.A good way to get Snapchat is to follow people who are already using it well.

We've gathered 21 Snapchat accounts, including self-made Snapchat stars, techies, and big celebrities, you should check out.

To add them, just open Snapchat to the camera screen, scroll through the list below, and take pictures of each user's QR code icon. Snapchat then instantly finds the user from your photo and asks if you'd like to add them to your follow list.

Chrissy Teigen slays on Snapchat whether she's joking around with John Legend or getting red carpet ready.

Username: chrissyteigen

Supermodel Chrissy Teigen is a social media savant on Instagram and Twitter, so why would it be any different on her Snapchat?

The new mom and wife of John Legend posts everything from her favorite new recipe for carrot cake to snaps of Legend singing. She’ll also post gorgeous selfies, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Rick Ross lives a fancy life as a famous rapper.

Username: ferrarifatboy

While DJ Khaled may be getting the most attention on Snapchat, his friend and frequent collaborator Rick Ross is another force of nature to observe in the app.

Like Khaled, Ross has reoccurring themes in his Snapchat stories you can expect to see frequently, like him vibing to music in the backseat of an expensive car or popping black bottles in the club.

Just don't expect anything short of extravagance.

John Mayer’s Snapchat is wonderfully unexpected and bizarre.

Before you roll your eyes at musician John Mayer’s inclusion on this list, go watch some of his amazing snap stories.

The great thing about Mayer is how weird he is. Some recent examples of his bizarre escapades include shooting solo cups with a Nerf gun while “All By Myself” plays in the background or talking to his "therapist" about making his Snapchat better.
