Snapchat is a socializing hub. People create accounts on the platform with the intention of finding friends and people with similar interests and connecting with them. People converse with one another on the platform and share photos and videos in the form of snaps with each other. A snap can be sent in the form of any photo or video; these can be captured directly from the Snapchat camera and sent to your friends on the platform. If users send each other snaps every day, they can form streaks with each other.
A streak is when two users send each other daily snaps. If either user fails to send a snap within 24 hours of their last one, the streak will be broken, and they will need to start from scratch again. This feature makes the platform highly addictive, tempting users to use it every day.
Users can capture all the interesting parts of their daily lives and share them with others. They can make them even more aesthetic using the various filters and effects available on the platform. There are even AR effects users can add to their media to add animations, backgrounds, and objects to them.
While Snapchat is a hub for users to connect with one another, sometimes you might meet the wrong people. In such cases, you will most probably block those users, and sometimes they might block you too.
You might wonder then what will happen to your chat history after they block you, and if you message them, will the messages even deliver?
Well, you are just in the right place. In this blog, we are going to understand what happens when someone blocks us on Snapchat. Let’s get going!
If Someone Blocked Me on Snapchat, Will My Messages Deliver?
When someone blocks you on Snapchat, the platform doesn’t notify you of the same. This is why you wouldn’t even know it for a while if someone blocked you. Although, if you do get to know that someone indeed has blocked you, you might be wondering whether you can still message them.
Well, to answer your question, when someone blocks you on Snapchat, you will not be able to message them, meaning your messages won’t be delivered to them. In fact, when someone blocks you on Snapchat, their chat won’t even be visible on your chat list, and your chat history with them will be wiped away until they unblock you again.
When someone blocks you on Snapchat, they basically become invisible to you, providing you with no way to contact them again. You won’t be able to view their profile, just as you wouldn’t be able to access their chat or chat history.
If you are curious about how one can block another user on Snapchat, especially if someone’s been really irritating you on the platform, we have got you covered. With the guide on how to block someone on Snapchat in the next section, you sure would be able to stop constant messages from somebody without them knowing.
How to block someone on Snapchat?
Sometimes, on social media platforms, you have got no choice but to go ahead and block a certain someone who’s been bugging you with unnecessary messages and stuff. If you have found yourself in one such situation and are wondering how you can block someone on the platform, here you go!
Provided below is a step-by-step guide on blocking someone on Snapchat. Let’s begin!
Step 1: Open Snapchat on your device and log in to your account if you haven’t already.
Step 2: You will be displayed with your camera screen; swipe right to access your chat list.
Step 3: Find the friend you want to block from your account in this section.
Step 4: Tap and hold onto their name when you find it.
Step 5: You will be able to see several options pop up on the screen; tap on Manage Friendship.
Step 6: Again, you will see a few options pop up; find and tap Block from those options.
Using a prompt, Snapchat will ask for confirmation for this action; tap on Block to confirm.
Doing this will remove the other user from your Snapchat friend list. They will also no longer be able to talk to you, view your Snapchat stories or send you snaps. You will pretty much be invisible to them on the platform.
However, blocking someone on Snapchat is a reversible process, and you can unblock them anytime. They will not be notified of either of the actions. Unblocking them will provide them access to your chat and its history again, along with all the media you have shared with each other and saved in the chat.
Unblocking someone on Snapchat will also allow them to add you to their friend list, message you again, send you snaps, and view your stories. So, you must be careful and sure about it when you block or unblock someone on the platform.
Let’s summarize

We began our discussion by talking about Snapchat and its different features.

After that, we discussed whether your messages would be delivered to someone who has blocked you on Snapchat, the answer to which is No. You wouldn’t even be able to access or view their chat, to begin with. Hence, you wouldn’t be able to message them or send them snaps.
