When someone blocks you on Snapchat, you don’t get a notification. It can be confusing as you go from daily conversations to no communication at all. So how do you know if someone has blocked you on Snapchat? It’s relatively easy to understand. I will share four simple tricks, so keep reading!
What is the difference between blocking and deleting on Snapchat?
It’s important to know the difference between blocking and removing someone on Snapchat before you apply. You will not be able to contact them in any way from your blocked account. However, if someone removed you from their friends list, you can find them. However, you will see an “Add Friends”label.
Plus, you can still send them snaps and view their stories. Here is the catch. If a user has set privacy settings that allow their friends to contact them on Snapchat, you won’t have access. What’s more, they might have muted you if you can’t watch their stories but are still friends.
1. Check Your Snapchat Contact List
You may find that someone has blocked you on Snapchat by checking your contact list. If they were there before and now they’re gone, you’ve probably been unfriended or blocked.
- Launch the Snapchat app on your iPhone.
- Touch your bitmoji.
- Scroll and select My friends to get a list of your friends.
2. Find his Snapchat username
The easiest way to check if someone has blocked you on Snapchat is to find them. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to find someone’s account if they blocked you or deactivated their account. Thus, it is better to study this more before making a final guess.
- Open the Snapchat app.
- Click on the search icon at the top.
- Then enter their username; if you can’t remember the exact username, enter their full name.
3. Check Recent Snapchat Chat History
If you’ve recently sent or received snaps from a user, you can also check their chat window. Lack of chat history can be a sign that someone has blocked you on Snapchat. So, go to Snapchat and click “Chat”in the bottom menu. Now scroll and try to find this user.
But it’s not a guaranteed way to check if someone has blocked you on Snapchat. This is because messages disappear after a maximum of 24 hours. So if you suspect you’ve been blocked, consider other hacks.
Try sending a message on Snapchat
If you find your inbox, open it and send a message (make sure you have a stable internet connection). It will be successfully delivered if you are not blocked. Otherwise, you will see an automatic warning: “Your message could not be sent. Click to try again.”
Also, if the message status shows “Pending”with a gray symbol, you are unfriended.
4. Use a different Snapchat account to look up their name.
As I said, if you can’t find an account after searching, it may be deactivated. So, I suggest looking for a username using a different account. This will solve the confusion! You can sign out and create a new Snapchat account or ask others to. If a user appears in someone else’s search but not in yours, you’re blocked.
FAQ
Yes, you can report any user by going to the Snapchat support page. When reporting, send some information, such as screenshots, to support the report.
If you are blocked, you cannot access your profile. Therefore, there is no way to block the user.
So, that’s it for today, Snapchatters!
Before you finish, check carefully to see if someone has blocked you on Snapchat or just unfriended you. It’s also possible that Snapchat removed the profile for violating community terms. Do you have other ways to find out if someone has blocked you? Let me know in the comments below.
