Identifying if someone blocked you on Snapchat can be perplexing, but certain indicators can help. If recent chats vanish, profile details are obscured, and the user’s profile is unsearchable, they might have blocked you. If suspicious, consider logging out and signing in again.
Snapchat, an excellent tool for staying connected, may occasionally involve heated conversations leading to someone blocking you. Given Snapchat’s lack of notifications for being blocked, it becomes confusing to understand the reason for communication issues. To assist you, we’ve outlined straightforward methods to check if someone has blocked you on Snapchat.
Blocking on Snapchat is usually evident, but if suspicions linger, consider checking the signs discussed below for confirmation.
Note:
Before proceeding with any methods mentioned below, it’s advisable to log out of the Snapchat app and then log back in. Some changes might only become visible after this action.
Method 1: Check Your Recent Chats
When blocked on Snapchat, your ongoing chat with the user should vanish from the Chats tab. To confirm, open the Snapchat app, navigate to the Chats tab, and inspect your recent chats. If the user has blocked you, the conversation won’t be visible.
However, there might be instances where the chat remains visible due to app bugs. In such cases, exploring additional methods is recommended.
Method 2: Old Delivered Texts Appear Opened
If the conversation doesn’t disappear, check the message status. If it’s marked “delivered” without being seen, it suggests possible blocking. To confirm, follow these steps:
- Send a text to the suspected user; it should be marked delivered.
- Tap your profile icon, then the gear icon for settings.
- Scroll down, select Log Out, and confirm.
- After logging out, tap Log In to sign back in.
- Check if the delivered text now instantly shows as “Opened” after logging in.
If the delivered text shows as “Opened” after logging back in, and you cannot see the other user’s Avatar in the chat window, it is highly likely that you have been blocked by the user. This absence of the Avatar is a clear indicator of being blocked.
Method 3: Profile Details Disappeared
If someone has blocked you on Snapchat, their profile details will be hidden. To check:
- Open the Chat tab and access the conversation.
- Tap their profile icon or name in the top left.
- On their profile page, you should only see their Avatar and an + Add button.
- Tapping “Add” won’t send a request, indicating a possible block.
Method 4: Cannot Find Them in My Friends List
Once blocked on Snapchat, the user is automatically removed from your friends. To confirm:
- Open Snapchat, tap your profile icon in the top left.
- Scroll down to My Friends and tap.
- Use the search bar to look for their account or username.
If not found, the user may have blocked you or removed you as a friend. Further methods can help confirm your suspicion.
Method 5: Search their Username on the App
For additional confirmation, search for the user’s name or Snapchat username on the Stories or Camera tab search bar. If they’ve only removed you as a friend, their account should still be visible. If the account doesn’t appear at all, it suggests a potential block.
To search for them, just open the app, tap on the search icon in the top left, and type their name to see if it appears in the search results.
Method 6: Search Using a Different Account
An extension of the method mentioned earlier is to use a different account for confirmation. If the suspicion arises that the user may have deleted their account, try searching for their username using another account, such as a friend’s or an alternative one of yours. If the user is visible in the search or My Friends list on the alternate account, it confirms the possibility of being blocked. This approach adds another layer of verification to the process.
These methods provide a way to check if you’ve been blocked on Snapchat, though the app’s behavior can be unpredictable. In some instances, you may still view details of the blocked user. To address this uncertainty, it’s advised to log out and log back in before attempting these methods.
