There is a long list of reasons you may want to block someone on Snapchat, and you are probably curious whether the person will be notified that they have been blocked. In this article, you’ll also get to know what happens when you block someone and what happens when you unblock someone. Let’s get into it!
What Happens After You Block Someone on Snapchat?
As previously stated, Snapchat will not notify someone that you blocked them. Here’s what happens after blocking someone on Snapchat.
Snaps From the Blocked Person Won’t Get Delivered to You
When you block someone, their chat page doesn’t change. So, they can still send you messages and snaps, but the messages won’t get delivered to you. However, the message appears as “unread” on the side of the blocked person. Snaps also appear as “delivered” on the side of the blocked person. This feature is present to prevent the blocked individual from knowing that they have been blocked.
You Will No Longer See Saved Messages
Blocking someone on Snapchat automatically results in you unfriending them. This way, you will be unable to see your saved messages with the blocked friend. However, the blocked friend can still see all saved messages.
The Blocked Person Will Be Withdrawn From Your List of Best Friends
Your interaction with the person you blocked is immediately reduced to zero. The blocked individual will be immediately deleted from your list of best friends since your engagement with them has been reduced to zero. Your interaction will have to start over if you unblock the individual and re-friend them. This implies that if you had any prior Snapstreaks, you would be unable to keep them.
No More Screenshots Notifications
Sadly, you are not informed if a blocked user takes a screenshot of one of your chats. You won’t receive any notifications, but the blocked individual will see a notification stating they took a screenshot of the chat. Even if you reverse the block and add them again to your list of friends, you won’t be able to tell if they took screenshots of your chats while they were blocked.
Does Snapchat Notify When You Unblock someone?
No, Snapchat does not notify the blocked person. However, they will no longer be on your list of friends. To be friends with them again, you will need to send them a friend request. They will receive a notification of the friend request and need to accept the request to be your friend again. This might give it away that you blocked them in the first place.
Conclusion
That’s it! Now you know that Snapchat doesn’t notify a blocked person that you blocked them. On the side of the blocked person, things will appear normal as they can send you snaps and messages. However, the snaps and messages will not be delivered to you. To re-add a previously blocked person, you must send them a friend request, which they will be notified of. On the other side, clicking “Remove friend” only unfriends the user. Your account no longer has their contact information. The individual can search for your account, and you can add them back too. Similar to blocking, removing someone from your list of friends results in the disappearance of their chat from your account.
