Like any social media platform, Snapchat is designed for you to connect with people. It is more or less a social hub. You can stay in touch with your friends and family on the platform and even discover new people with similar interests. Snapchat allows you to be in contact with your loved ones using direct messages and snaps. A person can also start a daily streak with someone by sending them snaps every day.
A streak is basically when two users send each other daily snaps; if either of them fails to send a snap within 24 hours of their last snap, the streak will be broken. The users will have to start from zero again.
Users can share the most interesting parts of their lives with one another in the form of snaps. These snaps can be photos or videos. You can also add effects to your snaps from the collection of the various effects available on the platform.
Not only that, but Snapchat also offers AR effects for a user to add animations, backgrounds, and objects to their snaps to make them even more interesting. Snapchat also has a feature for disappearing messages which makes the messages in a conversation auto-delete after viewing unless saved.
The disappearing message feature makes users feel more comfortable sharing about their lives on Snapchat. It is truly a great place to meet people. However, sometimes you can connect with people you no longer want to be in touch with.
In such cases, you might want to remove them from your friend list on Snapchat. If you are wondering whether doing so will notify the other person, keep reading!
In this blog, we will explore whether Snapchat notifies the other person when you remove them from your friend list. Let’s begin!
If You Remove Someone on Snapchat, Will They Know?
What if you become friends with someone on Snapchat with all the right intentions but later realize you would rather not be connected to them? This can become a potentially awkward or unwanted situation for you.
Maybe someone is spamming you on your Snapchat DMs or sharing objectionable content; sometimes, you just need to cut people off. Now, you would essentially want to remove this user from your Snapchat account.
You might wonder whether removing them will notify the other user, especially if you do not want to create any more awkward situations. Well, to answer your question, fortunately, Snapchat does not notify a user if you remove them from your account.
When you remove a user from your friend list, the person will be restricted from viewing your private stories and sending you snaps and messages directly. However, they will still be able to see your public stories and send you messages and snaps; those messages and snaps will be collected in the Pending section of your account. You can choose to view them if you like.
Removing a friend will remove that user from your friend list and chat list. However, that user will still be able to see you in their chat list as well as view your chat history. Removing a person from your Snapchat friend list is not the same as blocking them on the platform.
Blocking a person on Snapchat notifies the other user of the same, as well as severs all the connections they have with you on the platform. This means they can neither view your stories nor message you in any way. They can’t even view your profile until you unblock them again.
Now that we know what happens when you remove a friend from your account on Snapchat and how it’s different from blocking them, let’s move on to the next section. In the following section, we will learn how you can remove someone from your friend list on Snapchat with a simple method. Let’s get started!
How to remove someone on Snapchat?
Removing a person from your Snapchat friend list is sometimes the only option you have left. People on social media platforms can be highly annoying and irritating. You might meet a lot of wrong people.
Therefore, in the step-by-step guide mentioned below, we will learn how you can remove a Snapchat user from your friend list easily.
Let’s begin!
Step 1: Open Snapchat on your device and login if you haven’t already.
Step 2: On your camera screen, swipe right. This will take you to your friends list or your chat list.
Step 3: Find the user you want to remove from your friend list; either scroll the list to find them or search for their username in the search bar located at the top of the screen.
Step 4: Now, you can either tap and hold on to their username or go to their profile and tap on the three vertical dots at the top right of their profile panel.
Both of these steps will bring up a menu of options. Tap on Manage Friendships in this menu.
Step 5: Again, your screen will display a list of new options. Find and click on Remove Friend.
You will be displayed a prompt to confirm your decision. Tap on Remove to confirm.
Unfriending someone on Snapchat will not notify the other person of the same. They will still be able to send you snaps and messages and view your public stories.
There you go! With the above-mentioned steps, you can easily remove anyone from your friend list on Snapchat without any hassle. If someone is constantly nagging you on the platform, go ahead and remove them from your account.
Wrapping it up
That brings us to the end of this blog. Let’s quickly go through everything we have learned today to wrap it up. First, we began our discussion by talking about Snapchat as a social hub for connecting people and its various features.
We then talked about how sometimes we meet the wrong people on Snapchat whom we no longer want to be in touch with. We then either block them or remove them from our friend lists.
Next, we explored what happens when we remove a user from our Snapchat friend list and if they get to know about it, the answer to which is No. Snapchat doesn’t notify a user when you remove them from your friend list. In fact, they can still message you and view your public stories.
Lastly, we determined how you can remove someone from your Snapchat friend list with the help of a step-by-step guide. We hope we were able to clear all your doubts and queries about what happens when you unfriend someone on Snapchat.
