How To Remove Snapchat Best Friends?
Pipe down the communication: the easiest way to remove someone from your best friend list is to quit chattering with them, when you stop texting them or sending them snaps they will eventually be removed from your list. The amount of days it may take to remove them largely depends on how many contacts you have.
If you talk to a lot of people and have numerous amount of friends you will have many best friends and if the number of people you contact is few, sending one snap can make them your best friend.
Remove and add them again: if you remove a person from your Snapchat they will be removed from your best friend list.

So, if you are okay with that you can unfriend them and they will be no longer your friend on Snapchat.
