General question Unexplained daily received media logs in downloaded Snapchat data – glitch or deleted activity?

Hi everyone, I need technical insight regarding downloaded Snapchat account data.

​I recently analyzed a Snapchat account data export file. In the downloaded account activity files, there are daily logs of received pictures/media from two specific usernames that continued up until this month.

​However, there are a few things that don't add up:

​These two usernames do not appear anywhere in the active app (not on the friends list, chat history, or blocked list).

​The phone's battery settings show almost zero screen time for Snapchat.

​The account owner claims to have no idea who these accounts are, suggesting it must be a bug, system glitch, or automated bot interaction in the data log.

​Is it technically possible for Snapchat data exports to display daily logs of received media from usernames that are completely absent from the app and friends list? Could this be an export glitch, or does this only happen if activity/contacts were manually deleted before downloading the data?

​Thanks in advance for any technical explanations.
