Snapchat is one of the most popular messaging apps out there and we have already shared many Snapchat tips and tricks including ways to take screenshot without notifying the sender and disable Snap Maps, to help you use it efficiently. And today we are focusing on a single Snapchat problem that seems to plague most of its users. Snapchat has a privacy feature which allows its users to block anyone. However, there are times when you as a user want to know if you have been blocked by someone or not. So, if you are not receiving a snap from a special someone, here is how you can find out if someone has blocked you Snapchat.

1. Check your Snapchat contact list

The first thing you should do to find out if you have been blocked by someone is to check your Snapchat contact list. If you don’t see a particular contact listed on Snapchat, chances are, you might have been blocked. Also, if the contact regularly uploads a story, go ahead and check the Stories tab for any stories from the contact. If there are no stories from the contact, it’s another confirmation of you being blocked.

2. Search for username

The next way is to try and search for the person via their username or full name. You can do so by going to the Camera viewfinder screen and hitting the search button. Try searching for the username and if you can’t find anyone with the username, it’s because you might have been blocked. If you have been blocked very recently, you might even see the username but when you tap the add button, you will get a message saying “Sorry! Couldn’t find username”.

3. Try sending a message

One last way is to try sending a message. If the contact you think has blocked you is already in your chat list, you can try sending them a message. If you have indeed been blocked, your message will not be sent and you will get a message saying “Failed to send – Tap to try again”.

Bonus Method: Ask Your Friend or Create a New Account

There’s one more very basic way and this is if you and the contact that you think might have blocked you have a mutual friend. You can then ask your mutual friend to check if they are available on their Snapchat account and if they are, it’s obvious that you have been blocked.

  • Can I text someone who blocked me?

No, you can’t text someone who has blocked you on Snapchat. You will get an error message that says “Failed to send – Tap to try again”.

You can check the Snap score. If you can’t see it, the person has unfriended you. You can also open the chat and tap on ‘View Friendship’.

If you can’t see someone’s Snap score, it means that you’re not in their friend list. If you were able to see their score before, they have probably unfriended you.

  • When someone unfriends you on Snapchat, can they still see your story?

It depends on your privacy settings. They can see your story if the privacy of your story is set to ‘Everyone’ instead of ‘My friends’.

The grey arrow indicates that the person has either blocked you or has not accepted your friend request.

No. You will lose streak after you cross the 24 hours streak period. If you add the person within 24 hours and send a Snap, you can keep the streak.

No. Snapchat will not delete unopened snaps and the recipient can still choose to open them.

You can’t unsend Snaps you’ve already sent. Snapchat, however, has an option for unsending texts.

  • Do Snapchats expire if not opened?

Snapchat deletes all unopened Snaps from its servers after 30 days.

No, you can’t unsend Snaps on Snapchat.

No, you can’t.

You can’t send messages when you’re blocked on Snapchat.
