Snapchat is actually the only social media platform Ugandan Slay Kings have failed to crack the code of trending and decided to abandon it for their partners in crime the Slay Queens like Bad Black. The app houses all fun filters and rewarding streaks between friends, we did an opine article to assess whether SnapChat has finally become the default camera app for most Ugandan millennials?
Many have joined the snap bandwagon already and it’s a matter of time since someone’s feelings get hurt in your contact list. If you are wondering how to tell if someone blocked you on Snapchat, out of concern that you’ve lost a friend in the clique, we have got the instructions to help you out.
Just a piece of advice, though: if you do find that someone blocked you, move on. It might hurt a little but it’s not worth getting upset about. Whatever happens on the internet stays on the internet. There’s also the chance that your friend may not have blocked you but has broken up with Snapchat instead.
Keep in mind, you might need another Snapchat account to finish the steps and provide the evidence you are looking for.
Step One: Check your friends list
So, you’ve probably already done this, but let’s start at the most logical point. If a friend appears in your list of direct messages (which some call the friends list), they haven’t blocked you yet.
1. From the Home screen, tap the Messages icon.
2. Scroll up and down to look.
Step Two: Search for their username
If their username (which they may have changed) didn’t show up in your list, the next thing to do is search for their account. If they show up in your results, they haven’t blocked you.
1. From any screen in the app, tap the Magnifying Glass icon.
2. Type in their username.
3. See the lack of results.
Step Three: Repeat with someone else’s account
So, now that you’re down 0-2, let’s see if you can confirm that you’ve been blocked.
Now, this is the point where the second account comes into play if they find the same account you’ve been searching for in the past two steps, yes, chances are high you’ve been blocked on Snap.
Because there’s no feature on Snapchat that allows someone to delist an account and thereby make it invisible to all, everyone can be at least found in one of the above steps, provided they haven’t blocked the person.
If their account doesn’t show up in the secondary search, the most likely logical explanation is they’ve deleted their account and moved onto Instagram.
Here are some honorable ways you can find it if Someone has blocked you on Snapchat as well, pay attention to these tips when you are chatting with your friends.
1. Did you send them a message and it gets stuck on “Pending?” Chances are high you might be blocked.
2. If you can find them in search, but you’re not friends anymore and can’t add them? The bad news is, you might be blocked.
3. Is their name greyed out in the friends’ list? No need for me to finish the statement, you might be blocked.
