In an instant, you may get annoyed with someone and block them on Snapchat. However, over time, you will no longer feel angry and want to see who you blocked.

Here’s how to do it using your Android device:

Open Snapchat.
Go to your profile photo in the top left corner.
Go to “Settings”.
Go to “Account Actions”.

Open Snapchat.
Go to your profile photo in the top left corner.

Reasons Why You May Not Be Able to Add Someone as a Friend on Snapchat

As previously explained, unblocking someone on Snapchat will not automatically add them to your friends list. You have to search for it and add it “manually”.

Here are some reasons why Snapchat might not let you add friends:

This Person Blocked You

In this case, you can’t even find it.

They Deleted Their Account

Sometimes due to a bug, you can still see someone who just deleted their account. After you refresh the app, they will disappear.

You Reached Friend Limit

Although quite high, this may happen to you.

You Added Friends Too Fast

If this happens, try again later.

Now you know why some people may appear to be off limits on Snapchat.

How to Know If Someone Has Blocked You on Snapchat

Maybe the other way around. Someone is mad at you for various reasons and you no longer see them on Snapchat. Naturally, you may wonder if they blocked you. Snapchat, of course, doesn’t notify users when they are blocked.

Here are some ways to check if you’re on someone’s block list:

Browse their Profile

The first sign that something is wrong is that you can’t seem to find this person on Snapchat anymore. However, they might just delete the account

Check your Chats

Open a chat and see if your conversation is still there. Of course, for this to work, you’ll need to have chatted with the person beforehand.

Browse His Profile from Another Account

You can’t go wrong with this method. Use your other account or ask a friend to borrow theirs. If this person shows up when looking for them from another account, it’s likely they blocked you.

And that’s how you solve the mystery.

How to Remove Friends from Snapchat

Maybe you don’t want to be too radical and block someone, it’s better to remove them from your friends list on Snapchat:

Go to their profile.
Tap the “…” sign at the top.
Select “Manage Friendship”.
Select “Remove Friend.”

There is another way to do it:

Go to your chat section.
Tap and hold the name of the person you want to remove.
Select “Manage Friendships.”
Select “Remove Friend.”

Removing friends will prevent them from seeing any private content you post. However, they can see anything you post publicly. They may also still be able to chat or snap you, depending on your settings. So it’s a good idea to check your settings, just to make sure they can’t contact you again.

Quit Snapchat, Out of Mind

People fall and stop talking all the time. That’s how life goes. Social media is there to meet your social needs, even when it comes to cutting contacts. On Snapchat, you can block or remove friends. But if you change your mind, you can always call them again. Keep in mind that unblocking someone will not automatically add them to your friends list. Also, Snapchat won’t notify you if someone blocks you. But you can check by trying to find it from another account.
