How can I tell if someone blocked me on Snapchat?

Hey, I’ve been in the same boat before, and it can be really confusing because Snapchat keeps it subtle. The app won’t tell you directly if someone blocked you, so you have to piece it together. First, check if their username or full name shows up when you search for them. If you can’t find them but your friend can still see their profile from their own account, then yeah, that’s usually a sign you’ve been blocked.

Second, if your past chats with them disappeared completely—not just inactive but totally gone—that’s another big indicator. Blocking removes the thread on your end. If they just deleted you as a friend, the conversation usually still shows.

Lastly, try looking from another account (maybe a friend’s). If the person still pops up there but not on yours, that’s pretty much confirmation. I went through this with someone I used to talk to daily, and when all three signs matched, I knew I was blocked. It stung, but at least I understood what was going on instead of wondering endlessly.

I’ve dealt with this too. The main signs: you can’t search them, your old conversation disappears, and Snaps won’t deliver. If you’re still unsure, ask a trusted friend to search the same username. If it shows up for them but not you, you’ve been blocked. If it’s gone for everyone, then the person deleted or deactivated their account. Snapchat makes it hard to tell because they don’t want drama, but these checks usually give you the answer.

Snapchat doesn’t notify blocks. The signs: no search results for their username, conversation thread disappears, and Snaps won’t deliver. Confirm by checking with another account—if they appear there but not on yours, you’re blocked. If nowhere, account deleted.

To know if someone blocked you: search fails, chats vanish, snaps don’t deliver, and friends can still see their account. If nobody can, then they deleted it. It’s subtle, but those checks clarify the difference between blocked vs deleted.
