Hi, I'm Jess, and I've been actively using and researching social media, especially Snapchat, for over a decade. I'm passionate about understanding how these platforms work and how they impact our interactions. Blocking someone on Snapchat is a sure way to set up digital boundaries, but it can be confusing to know what happens after you hit that button. Let's dive into the intricacies of what happens when you block someone on Snapchat.

## What Happens When You Block Someone on Snapchat

When you block someone on Snapchat, you're essentially making yourself invisible to them and them to you. This invisibility extends across various aspects of the platform:

1. Snaps and Chats: The most immediate effect is that you won't receive any new Snaps or Chats from the blocked person. Any attempts they make to send you a message will show up as "Pending" on their end, never reaching you. Similarly, any Snaps or Chats you send will never be delivered to them. This applies even if you were in a group chat together—they won't see your messages, and you won't see theirs.

2. Stories: Your stories become invisible to the blocked person. They won't be able to see if you've posted anything new, and they won't be able to access your past stories either. You also won't be able to see their stories.

3. Profile: Your Snapchat profile, including your username, Snap Score, and any saved conversations or media, will be hidden from them. If they try to search for your username, it won't show up in their search results.

4. Friend List: You are automatically removed from each other's friend lists upon blocking.

5. Snap Map: If you use Snap Map, your location will be hidden from the blocked person. They will no longer be able to see where you are on the map, and you won't be able to see their location either.

6. Memories: Any photos, videos, or stories saved to your Memories that feature the blocked person will remain accessible to you. However, the blocked person will not be able to see any Memories that you shared with them while you were still friends.

7. Quick Add: The blocked person will not be suggested to you in the "Quick Add" section, and you won't appear in their suggestions either.

## Important Points to Remember:

* Blocking is different from deleting: Deleting a friend on Snapchat simply removes them from your friend list but doesn't prevent them from sending you Snaps or viewing your public stories. Blocking, however, puts a complete stop to all communication.

* Blocking is a two-way street: Once you block someone, they won't be notified but will likely figure it out when they can't find you on Snapchat or their messages remain pending.

* Unblocking is possible: You can unblock someone at any time, which restores the possibility of interaction, including receiving pending messages they might have sent while blocked. However, keep in mind that older Snaps and Chats might not reappear.

* Privacy is key: Blocking is a powerful tool for managing your privacy and online safety on Snapchat. Don't hesitate to use it if someone is harassing you, sharing inappropriate content, or simply making you feel uncomfortable.

In a nutshell, blocking on Snapchat is a comprehensive way to remove someone from your digital space. It's designed to give you control over who can contact you and see your content. If you're ever unsure about whether to block someone, remember that your safety and comfort on the platform are paramount.

When someone blocks you, they will disappear from your contacts list. You won't even be able to find them through Snapchat's search engine. If, on the other hand, someone deletes you from their contact list, they will still appear on your list of friends, but if you send them a picture, they won't receive it.read more >>
