How Do I Know if Someone Blocked Me on Snapchat?
Snapchat is a popular app where people stay in touch by sending snaps, chatting, and sharing stories. But what if you suddenly stop seeing someone's updates or can't message them anymore? You might start to wonder did they blocked me?
Blocking on Snapchat means someone stops all contact with you, but they don’t have to unfriend or delete you. And Snapchat won’t tell you if you’ve been blocked.
1. You Can No Longer Find Their Username or Display Name
The easiest way to check if you’re blocked is by searching for their username or display name in the Snapchat search bar. If their profile doesn’t appear at all — and you’re sure you spelled their name correctly — it could mean they’ve blocked you.
Note: If they just deleted their account or changed their username, this could also happen. So, it’s a clue but not 100% proof.
2. Your Chats With Them Disappear
If you had an ongoing chat conversation with the person, check if the chat still exists in your Snapchat inbox. If they’ve blocked you, your previous chat history with them usually disappears or becomes inaccessible. If the chat is gone and you can’t start a new one, it’s a strong sign of being blocked.
3. You Cannot Send Them Snaps or Messages
Try sending a snap or a message to the person. If you’re blocked, your message will fail to deliver, and Snapchat won’t show you a “Delivered” or “Opened” status. Instead, it may just stay pending without any updates.
4. Their Snapchat Score Disappears
Normally, you can see a friend’s Snapchat score (the number showing how active they are) on their profile. If someone blocks you, this score disappears when you view their profile, even if you could see it before.
5. You Can’t See Their Stories or Charms
If you used to see their Snapchat stories regularly and suddenly they vanish, and their profile is no longer visible in your friend list, you might be blocked. Also, certain profile features like “Snapchat Charms” won’t be visible anymore.
6. You’re Removed From Their Friends List
If you check your friends list and the person is no longer there, it could mean either that they unfriended you or blocked you. Usually, blocking removes you from their friends list automatically.
What is Not a Sign of Being Blocked?
- They don’t reply quickly: Maybe they’re just busy or ignoring messages.
- Their account is private or locked: Some users restrict who can see their content, so you might not see their stories without being blocked.
- Technical glitches: Snapchat sometimes experiences bugs that can cause missing messages or stories.
How to Confirm If Someone Blocked You on Snapchat?
If you want to confirm, here’s a simple test:
- Ask a Mutual Friend: Check if your mutual friend can find the person’s profile or send them snaps.
- Try From Another Account: If you have a second Snapchat account or can borrow one, try searching for or messaging the person. If the profile appears or messages go through, but not from your main account, you’re likely blocked.

Snapchat is a popular multimedia messaging app launched in 2011, known for its disappearing photos and videos called “Snaps.” Users can send snaps to friends that vanish after being viewed, making conversations more private and spontaneous.
It also features Stories collections of snaps visible for 24 hours and a Discover section for news and entertainment. Snapchat offers fun filters, lenses, and augmented reality effects that users love to enhance their photos and videos. With millions of daily users, especially among younger audiences, Snapchat combines instant communication, creativity, and social networking into one engaging platform.
