Question

I'm very annoyed because the person I like blocked me and I wanted to start streaks. I am considering making a new account just so I can talk to them again. It that too far?

Community Answer

Yes, that is too far, and it could even be deemed harassment. If you know them, try talking to them in person about why the blocked you. If you did something wrong, apologize.

Question

What if sent them a snap and it says they opened it, but then a couple hours later it shows it in gray coloring?

Community Answer

The grey coloring means that they've deleted you as a friend or they never had you as a friend and changed their settings to private where only friends can snap them, as opposed to everyone.

Question

How do I know I'm blocked from viewing someone's Snapchat story?

Community Answer

You won't be able to see their story at all. You can go to a friend who's added the same person as a friend and check if they have access to the person's story. If they do, chances are you've been blocked from viewing their story.

Question

Did they block me if I can still see their snap score, but I can't see their story?

Question

I have the phone number and the person doesn't appear as a Snapchatter, it appears as a regular contact. Does this mean I'm blocked?

Community Answer

No, it does not mean that you are blocked. Typically, this just means that the person does not have a Snapchat account. If you are sure this is the case, it might not be connected through the phone number. Try adding by username to see if that works.

Question

It lets me add them, but it won't let me send messages. Does that mean they've blocked me?

Community Answer

If it lets you add them, they didn't block you. The messages won't send until they add you back.

My snap says it has been delivered to the person who has blocked me. Does that mean they have actually received it and can open it?

Question

They added me, but I can't add them back. Does that mean I'm still blocked? Can they still see my story?

Community Answer

Yes, you're still blocked, that's why you can't add them back. They can't see your story because you're removed from their friend list when blocked.

Question

I added someone and sent them a message, but they never added me back. Will that person still get my message?

Community Answer

No. They will not get your message until they accept your friend request. If you see that it says "pending" under the message, that is because it has not sent yet.

Question

I sent him a message and it shows up as sent. When I checked who had viewed my story, it had their username but they were listed as "Other Snapchatters," not friends. I can't add them again. Am I blocked?

Aasim

Top Answerer

If you cannot add them, then you have likely been blocked. Get in touch with them in person and ask them to unblock you.

Question

This person shows up on my friends list, but I cannot see their snapscore. What happened?

Aasim

Top Answerer

They may not have a snapscore. Encourage them to use Snapchat more frequently so they can get snappoints.

Question

I can send snaps that say delivered, see the snap score, and can still search for the person and find them with snap score, but am unable to add as friend. It keeps spinning. What does this mean?

Philip Alexandros

Community Answer

It probably means you have bad connection. If you were blocked, you would not be able to even search for the person or send them snaps.

Question

What does it mean when it says waiting to send message?

Zach K. 2

Community Answer

If it says "waiting to send" or "sending..." that means that you do not have a connection to either the wifi or your wifi is being slow. Also, note that if you are connected to your data plan it could also be slow in that area you are in or you are not connected.

Question

if someone's score is going up but I haven't seen any recent stories, does that mean the person has hidden the story from me?

Philip Alexandros

Community Answer

Snapchat scores also go up when you send and receive snaps from other people. You don't have to post a story for your score to increase.
