Method 1: Check Previous Chat History

If you have interacted with this person on Snapchat in the past, you can find the conversation in the chat window. If you don’t see the previous chat, the person may have blocked you on the platform. Here’s how to check.

Step 1:Launch theSnapchatapp on your phone and tap on theChaticon.

Step 2:Now, look through the chat for your friend. If not visible, tap on thesearch iconat the top right corner and search for your friend.

Step 3:If the contact is visible, tap on it and check the chat window for the friend-added icon. Or, try sending them a message.

If you see an automated message like ‘Failed to send your message, tap to try again’ or cannot send a message, you may have been blocked.

Method 2: Manually Search for the User

Step 1:OpenSnapchatand tap on theChaticon. Tap on the relevantconversation.

Step 2:Once the chat window opens, tap on theAddicon. Wait and see if you can add the friend again or get an error instead.

If you see the ‘Sorry, Couldn’t find the person’ message, it means the other user has either deleted their Snapchat account or blocked you.

Method 4: Check if Their Stories Are Visible

If your friend regularly uploads stories on the platform and you notice a significant absence for a couple of weeks, it can indicate that they may have blocked you on Snapchat. To confirm, manually search and view their Story.
