if i block someone on snapchat what happens ~~
When you block someone on Snapchat, it basically makes your account look like it doesn’t exist to them while cutting off all interaction between you two.
Quick Scoop
- They can’t send you Snaps or Chats anymore; anything they try to send won’t reach you.
- They’re removed from your Friends list, and you usually disappear from theirs as well.
- Your Stories, profile, Bitmoji, Snap Map location, and Charms are hidden from them.
- Your chat history disappears from your side, but they may still see past saved messages on their screen.
- They are not notified that you blocked them; it just looks like you don’t show up or stopped snapping.
What Blocking Actually Does
Think of blocking as putting up a hard wall rather than just “muting” someone.
- Communication cut off
- No Snaps, Chats, or calls from them will arrive to you.
* On their side, messages may show as “Pending” or just never deliver, with no clear “you’re blocked” notice.
- Friends list & search
- They’re removed from your Friends list instantly.
* Your account usually won’t show up if they search your username, so it feels like you’re gone from Snapchat (at least to them).
- Stories, profile, and map
- They can’t see your Stories at all (public or private) once blocked.
* Your profile details and Bitmoji are hidden.
* Your Snap Map location stops updating for them, even if it was on before.
What Happens to Chats and Snaps?
This part confuses a lot of people, so it’s worth clarifying.
- On your phone:
- The one‑on‑one chat with that person usually disappears or becomes inaccessible once you block them.
- On their phone:
- They may still see old saved messages or previously opened snaps in the chat, because blocking doesn’t automatically delete content from their device.
* Any new messages or snaps they send after you block them will not be delivered to you, even if you unblock them later.
Blocking also does not unsend any snap you already sent; if it’s still within the normal viewing window, they can view it until it expires.
If You Unblock Them Later
Unblocking doesn’t fully reset things like nothing happened.
- You might need to add them back as a friend if you want to interact again.
- Messages they tried to send while blocked will not suddenly appear in your chat — those are gone from your side permanently.
- Some or all of your old chat thread may re‑appear, depending on what was saved and how Snapchat is handling history at that time.
Block vs Just Remove vs Mute (Quick View)
Here’s a simple way to see the difference.
| Action | They can message you? | They see your Stories? | They find you in search? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Block | No, messages & snaps don’t deliver. | [7][1][3]No, all Stories & profile hidden. | [5][7][3]Usually no, your account appears gone. | [1][3]
| Remove friend | Depends on your privacy (often can’t, unless “Everyone” can contact). | [10][3]They may still see public Stories, but not private ones. | [10][3]Yes, they can usually still search you. | [10][3]
| Mute / Do Not Disturb | Yes, but you don’t get notifications. | [8]Yes, you just mute their Story from your view. | [8]Yes, nothing changes on visibility. | [8]
Little Real‑Life Style Scenario
You’re tired of someone snapping you every hour. You block them.
On their end, your chat is still there with old saved messages, but every new snap they send just sits as “Pending” and your profile doesn’t show up when they search. On your end, they’re off your Friends list, gone from chats, and they can’t see your Stories or location anymore.
TL;DR: If you block someone on Snapchat, you cut off all future contact, hide your Stories, profile, and location, and make it look like you’ve disappeared from their Snapchat world, while old saved stuff on their device may still be visible.
