How To Know If Someone Deleted You On Snapchat

Snapchat doesn’t make it easy to tell if someone has blocked or removed you. When that happens, you won’t receive a notification, and you can’t ask the Snapchat team whether it has happened. (Well, you can ask, but they won’t tell.)

However, there are a few different ways to find out whether someone has removed or blocked you on Snapchat. In this article, we’ll walk you through those strategies.

Deleting vs. Blocking on Snapchat

If someone unfriends or deletes you from their My Friends list, Snapchat won’t send a notification about this. This is to respect the decision and privacy of that person while keeping your notifications clear.

When you are blocked by someone on Snapchat, their profile won’t appear in the search results. It can be unpleasant to get blocked by someone on Snapchat. But besides respecting their choice, there isn’t much that can be done to change the situation. As a retaliatory move, you can also block that person on Snapchat.

How to Tell If Someone Deleted You on Snapchat

There are multiple ways you can use to find out if someone deleted you on Snapchat. Let’s have a look at them.

1. Check Snapchat Friends List

The easiest way to know if someone removed you on Snapchat is by checking your friends’ list. If that person is missing from the list, it means they have removed or blocked you.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Launch Snapchat on your phone.
  2. Go to your profile by tapping on your avatar icon.
    Snapchat Profile Icon
  3. Tap My Friends and check the list.
    Snapchat Add Friends

If they aren’t on your friends list, it confirms that they’ve removed or blocked you.

2. Try Sending Them A Message

Apart from checking their profile in the Chat section, try sending them a message if you have a chat history with that person. If they removed you, Snapchat will show a (username) has not added you as a friend yet message when you try to send them a message.

If you send them a message or Snap, a Pending and a gray icon will appear instead of a blue or red symbol. That means they have removed you from their friends list but didn’t block you. However, if you see a Failed to send your message – Tap to try again notification, they might have blocked you on Snapchat.

3. Check Your Friendship Status

You can check their profile and see if their Snapscore, zodiac, birthdate, and other details appear. If these details don’t appear under their profile and you can only see their username, it confirms that they removed you from their Snapchat friends list.

Sometimes, you can still see that friend in the friends list even if they blocked you. If you can see their profile but can’t add them back, it is likely because they blocked you on Snapchat. Moreover, if a Sorry, Couldn’t find (username) message shows up, it means that they unblocked you.

How to Tell if Someone Blocked You on Snapchat

Figuring out if someone has blocked you on Snapchat is actually pretty easy to confirm, though you will still have to do a little digging. There are a few easy ways to find out if someone blocked you on Snapchat.

1. Search That Person’s Username

Searching for that person’s username in the search bar is the most effective way to know if someone blocked you on Snapchat. You can use their name or Snapchat username to find them.

  1. Open Snapchat on your phone.
  2. Tap the search icon.
    Snapchat search icon
  3. Enter that person’s name or Snapchat username.

If that person appears in the search results and there is an Add button next to their name, they unfriended you on Snapchat. However, if that person doesn’t appear in the search results, it’s likely because they blocked you on the platform.

2. Ask Your Friend

If you’re still not sure, you can take help from your mutual friend. You can either ask your friend to check that person’s profile on Snapchat or use your friend’s phone and try searching for that person using their account.

If that person’s profile details like Snapscore, zodiac, birthdate, and more are visible on your friend’s account, but not on yours, that person has removed you from their account.

However, if that person appears on your friend’s Snapchat account, but you can’t find them on your account, that person has blocked you on Snapchat.

3. Check Your Messages

You will find that person in the Chat section on Snapchat if you have sent them messages or snaps in the past. This only works when you have a chat history with that person.

If your friend hasn’t removed you from their Snapchat account, their Snapscore, zodiac, birthdate, and other details will be still visible on their profile. But, if nothing shows up apart from their avatar and username, they have removed you from their account.

Moreover, if you don’t see that person’s profile or the previous chat history in the Chat section, that person has blocked you on Snapchat.

4. Use A Different Snapchat Account

Another easy way to know if someone blocked you on Snapchat is by using a different account to check that person’s profile. If you don’t have any mutual friends, make another Snapchat account.

If you can see them on the freshly created account but not on your primary account, then they have blocked your main account. However, if you can’t find them from your new account either, then that person might have deactivated or deleted their Snapchat account.

How to Tell if Someone Is Still Following You on Snapchat After You Unfriend Them?

There is a way to know if someone is still following you after you removed them, but it has a problem. Naturally, a relatively sneaky plan isn’t going to be completely perfect!

Check Your Story

The problem with this method is that you’ll have to wait for the person of interest to actually check your story. If they never do, you’ll never know if they’re still following you. On the plus side, it’s pretty easy to post a story that entertains the rest of the people who still do follow you.

  1. Create a story and add a snap.
  2. Wait and let people visit the story.
  3. Open your profile page and find the story under Stories.
    Snapchat My story
  4. Beneath the story name, there will be a number and an eye icon. The number indicates how many people viewed your story.
    Snapchat Story eye icon
  5. Tap the icon and a list of the people who have seen your story will pop up. If the person of interest is there, you know they are still following you.

Find Out Who Deleted You On Snapchat

You can always make a guess if someone blocked or removed you on Snapchat when you stop seeing their stories or stop receiving snaps and messages from them. Getting blocked or removed by someone can sting, but at least now you’d know if someone deleted you on Snapchat using the aforementioned methods.

In case you’ve accidentally removed someone, there are a few ways to find and add back deleted friends on Snapchat.
