What Happens When You Block Someone on Snapchat?

Social media, including Snapchat, is excellent for connecting with friends and meeting new people. There is so much fun on Snapchat, from sharing snaps to viewing each other’s Snapchat Story.

Not everyone will bond with you, and when you want to cut off someone, your best option is to block them on Snapchat.

If you are looking to block someone and wondering what next after you block the person, this guide sheds light on every detail you should know. We will discuss what happens when you block someone, and once you are okay with the consequences, we will see the steps of blocking and unblocking someone on Snapchat.

What Happens Next After Blocking Someone on Snapchat?

Are you tired of someone texting you on Snapchat? Or maybe you want to block someone from viewing your Snapchat Story?

Whatever reason you want to block someone, we have your back. Besides, before you learn the steps of blocking someone, it makes sense to understand what happens after blocking someone on Snapchat.

Here’s the deal – once you’ve blocked someone, you can’t send or receive snaps from them. Even though the person you blocked can message you, their messages won’t reach you, and there is no notification that you will get.

Also, the snaps you shared with the person you blocked will remain visible to them for 24 hours before expiring. Furthermore, the person you blocked can’t view any Snapchat Stories that you create.

Once you block someone, their chats will get deleted from your chat section. If the person you blocked were your Snapchat best friend, the Snap streaks with them would come down to zero, and they will get removed from the list of Snapchat best friends.

Lastly, for someone you’ve blocked, you can’t add them as your friend. If you are on the friends list of the person you’ve blocked, that will remain so.

However, you can’t add them back as your friend unless you unblock them first and then send them a friend request.
