If I added all the people on the quick add screen, how do I get more?

Wait! You can't have everyone show up yet, just wait until you make new Snapchat friends, then their mutuals will eventually show up.
Question

How do I unhide everyone on my Quick Add?

There is no way to unhide them, but you can still search their username and add them that way.

Why won't anyone come up in my quick add?

If you have been using Snapchat for a long time, most Snapchat users within your age and area group would have already shown up. They may not appear again for awhile, so wait for awhile and Snapchat may notice another active user and put it on the quick add list.
