Question

How do I add someone after I blocked them on Snapchat?

Community Answer

Go into your settings on Snapchat by swiping down and hitting the gear icon. Locate "Blocked" in the list and unblock the person. You can now re-add them. You cannot add anyone who is currently blocked.

Question

Someone I don't know friended me on snapchat. How can I get rid of him?

Community Answer

You could block them, report them, or tell them to unfriend you. Never (and I mean never) talk to strangers on snapchat. You may end up trusting them and things could go wrong!

Question

Can someone block another person from snapping me?

Community Answer

Technologically, no. The only person who is able to block people from sending you snaps is yourself, unless you give your friends access to your accounts. To see if someone has blocked someone from your account, tap the settings icon > Account Actions > Blocked.

Question

If I block someone on Snapchat, then unblock him, can he see my stories again if my page is set to anyone?

Community Answer

If he had you as a friend on Snapchat, you blocked him then unblocked him, and he still is friends with you, then yes, he can. If you weren't friends, then he can't.

How can I tell if someone blocked me on Snapchat?

You can tell by trying to search their username. If the username is not found or nonexistent, then they have blocked you.

Is there any way to block someone before they create a Snapchat account?

Community Answer

No. If they haven't sent you a 'snap' yet, then you could look up their username and block them.

Can Snapchat block a number from my underage daughter's phone permanently through Snapchat not on her phone but from her account?

Snapchat accounts are linked to one phone number per account. If the user is causing trouble, please contact Snapchat directly though their website.

Question

If I blocked someone for harassment, will they know that's the reason I blocked them on Snapchat?

Community Answer

No, they won't even see that you blocked them. The only way for them to know that you blocked them is for them to try and look up your username. It won't show up.

Question

Can I prevent anyone from seeing my Snapchat except my friends?

Community Answer

To ensure that you do not receive random Snapchats from people you don't know, change your settings so that only your friends can send you Snaps. Tap the Settings icon at the top left corner of your Feed page, and adjust the settings appropriately.

Did Snapchat introduce shadowbanning?

Yes and no. While blocked users may sometimes not appear in search results, the display name of blocked users is always the same as the username.
