Snapchat keeps blocks private, so the app sends no alerts when someone cuts off contact, and this turns out as a frustrating moment for the person being blocked.
Users often confuse blocking with unfriending, unaddading, or account deletion, yet each shows distinct signs.
This guide outlines clear methods to spot a block on Snapchat and confirm it based on the current app behavior.
Block vs. Unfriend vs. Account Deletion
A block removes all traces of the user from your view, while an unfriend limits access without hiding the profile entirely. Account deletion hides the profile from everyone. Spot the differences to avoid mix-ups.
- Block: No profile in search results from your account, chats vanish, snaps fail.
- Unfriend: Profile appears in search with an "Add" button, no Snap score shows, and private stories stay hidden.
- Deletion: Profile missing for all users, no matter the account.
These patterns hold steady in 2026, and so the above-mentioned methods are 100% accurate.
Step-by-Step Checks
Follow these steps for accuracy. You should start with simple searches, then verify with tests.
1. Search for Their Username
Open Snapchat and tap the search icon at the top. Type their exact username or display name.
If the profile fails to appear, a block or deletion fits the picture. An unfriend shows the profile under "Add Friends."
This check works best with unique usernames.
2. Review Recent Chats
Tap the chat bubble icon at the bottom. Scroll through your conversation list.
A missing thread with the user points to a block on Snapchat, especially if you chatted recently. Old chats sometimes linger due to glitches, so combine this with other steps.
3. Send a Test Snap or Message
Open an existing chat or start one via search. Send a snap or text.
Watch for "Pending" with a gray arrow, which suggests an unfriend. A "Failed to send" error leans toward a block or deletion on Snapchat.
4. Look for Their Snap Score
If the profile appears, tap it to view details. The Snap score sits below the display name.
No score visible signals an unfriend on the Snapchat app, and a full profile absence confirms a block.
5. Test from Another Account
Log out and use a second Snapchat account, or ask a friend to search the username.
If the profile shows up there but not on yours, confirm the block. No appearance on either account means deletion of the account.
What to Do Next?
If confirmed, respect the boundary and focus on other connections.
Snapchat offers no appeal for blocks, so move forward.
For privacy concerns on your end, adjust settings in your profile.
