Snapchat is a fun and fast-paced social media platform that connects users through snaps, chats, and stories. However, sometimes, you may feel like someone is ignoring you—or worse, has blocked you. But how do you know for sure?

In this article, we’ll check the most accurate and easy ways to figure out whether someone has blocked you on Snapchat. The steps explained here work on both Android and iOS devices.

🕵️‍♂️ Signs That Someone Has Blocked You on Snapchat

Before jumping into detailed methods, here are a few common signs that could mean you’ve been blocked:

  • Their chat disappears from your list even though you recently messaged them.
  • You can’t find their profile through the search bar.
  • Snaps or chats aren’t delivered anymore.
  • They completely vanish from your Friends list.

Now, let’s explore each method step-by-step.

🔍 1. Check Your Recent Conversations

If you’ve chatted with the person recently, you can look at your conversation history.

Steps:

  1. Open the Snapchat app.
  2. Swipe right to open the Chat screen.
  3. Check your list of recent conversations.

💡 If the conversation is missing and you’re sure you didn’t delete it, it could mean you’ve been blocked.

📝 Note: If you’ve never chatted with them or cleared your conversations manually, skip to the next method.

🔎 2. Search for Their Username or Name

This is one of the most direct ways to check if someone has blocked you.

How to do it:

  1. Tap the Search icon (magnifying glass) at the top.
  2. Type their username or full name.

What You’ll See:

  • If their profile appears under “Add Friends”, they may have removed you from their friends list.
  • If nothing shows up, and you’re sure the username is correct, it’s possible you’ve been blocked or the user has deleted their account.

📝 Pro Tip: Use the exact username for better results—usernames are unique and rarely change.

👥 3. Check Your Friends List

You can also try checking if the person still appears in your friends list.

Steps:

  1. Open Snapchat and tap your Bitmoji/profile icon (top-left).
  2. Scroll down and tap on “My Friends.”
  3. Use the search bar to look for the person.

If they’re missing, they might have either deleted you or blocked you.

🔁 4. Use a Different Account to Search

Still not sure? Use a second Snapchat account to cross-check.

You can:

  • Ask a friend (who isn’t already connected to the person) to search for them.
  • Or, log out and create a new Snapchat account for checking.

If They Show Up in the Search:

✅ Their account still exists, and you’ve likely been blocked on your original account.

If They Don’t Show Up:

🚫 The user may have deleted their Snapchat account.

🔓 Bonus: How to Unblock Someone on Snapchat

If you’ve blocked someone earlier and want to unblock them:

Steps:

  1. Tap your Bitmoji/profile icon.
  2. Tap the gear icon (top-right) to open Settings.
  3. Scroll to the Account Actions section and tap Blocked.
  4. Find the username and tap the ‘X’ next to it.
  5. Confirm the action by tapping Yes.

🔁 You can now re-add them, but note that Snapchat might prevent re-adding immediately if you just unblocked them.

❗What Happens When You Block Someone on Snapchat?

  • They can’t find your profile in search.
  • They can’t send you messages or snaps.
  • They won’t see your stories.
  • You’ll be removed from each other’s friend list automatically.
  • They won’t get any notification about being blocked.

❓FAQ: Common Questions About Blocking on Snapchat

1. Can a blocked user still send me Snaps?

No. Once blocked, they can’t interact with you at all.

2. Will Snapchat notify them when I block them?

No. Snapchat does not send any alert or message to users when they get blocked.

3. Is there a difference between being deleted and being blocked?

Yes. If someone deleted you, you can still find them and send Snaps. But if you’re blocked, their profile disappears from your Snapchat entirely.

4. What if someone deleted their account?

If they’ve deleted their Snapchat account, they won’t appear in any search results, even from other accounts.
