Understand the Concept
The Snapchat Block function is designed to remove a person from your Snapchat history once and for all. The blocked person won’t be able to search you, look at your profile, or contact you in any possible way on Snapchat. We have a dedicated post onwhat happens when you block someone on Snapchat. Read it to get a broad idea of what follows after blocking a friend on Snapchat.
In contrast, removing a friend unfriends someone on Snapchat. The contact disappears from your account. But you can always add them back and search for the contact on Snapchat.
What Happens When You Block or Remove Someone on Snapchat?
If you are sure not to have interactions with specific accounts on Snapchat, you can use the Block function to become completely invisible to them without having to delete your Snapchat account.
Do You Remain on Other Person’s Friends List?
When you block a Snapchat account, your name will no longer appear in the blocked person’s friends list. The person can still go to the old chat and try to send you messages, but those messages won’t arrive in your inbox. The blocked person automatically gets unfriended and vanishes from your friends list.
When using the Remove function, your name will still appear in that person’s friends list.
Will Others Be Notified When You Block or Remove Someone on Snapchat?
Snapchat doesn’t send any notificationor message indicating that you have blocked or removed someone on the platform. The blocked person might notice your action when they no longer see you on their friend list.
If you have removed the person from the friends list, they might get an indication when they don’t see your regular Snapchat stories.
