Steps
Unblocking Someone
- Open the Snapchat app. It's a white ghost on a yellow background.
- If you aren't already signed into Snapchat, tap Log In and enter your username (or email address) and password.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen. This will open your profile page.
- Tap ⚙️. It's in the top right corner of the screen.
- Scroll down and tap Blocked. This is in the Account Actions section toward the bottom of this page.
- Tap X to the right of the user whom you want to unblock. You'll be prompted to confirm the action.
- Tap Yes. This will unblock the user, allowing you to contact them again and vice versa.
- Add the unblocked user as your Snapchat friend again. Depending on the other person's privacy settings, you may need to add them to your friends list (and have them add you back) in order to chat with them again.
- You can add people by searching their usernames or scanning their Snapcodes.
- You may need to wait up to 24 hours to add someone back if you've deleted them from your friends list.
Blocking Someone
- Understand what blocking means. When you block someone in Snapchat, you will be removed from each other's friends lists. The blocked person will not be able to find you in Snapchat's search, either.
- Block someone on your friends list. You can block anyone that you've added to your friends list from the friends list on your Profile screen.
- Swipe down from anywhere on the camera screen.
- Tap My Friends.
- Tap the person you want to block.
- Tap the Gear button in the top right corner of the person's name card.
- Tap Block twice.
- Block someone that added you. If you just got added by someone that you want to block, you can block them on your Profile screen.
- Swipe down from anywhere on the camera screen.
- Tap Added Me.
- Swipe left on the user you want to block.
- Tap Block twice.
- Block someone that sent you a message. If you've received a message from someone and you don't want to receive messages from them again, you can block them directly from the messages screen.
- Swipe right from the camera screen, or tap the chat icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Swipe right on the conversation with the person you want to block.
- Tap ☰ in the top left corner of the screen.
- Tap Block twice.
Tips
- If you are receiving random Snapchats from people you don't know, you can change your settings so only your friends can send you snaps. You can do this by tapping the Settings gear and then selecting Friends in the Contact Me tab of the "Who Can..." section.
Warnings
- Don't block a user unless you're absolutely sure that you don't want to see or talk to them on Snapchat.
