Snapchat Block vs. Remove: Know the Differences

Snapchat Block vs. Remove: Know the Differences

Quick Tips
  • Blocking someone on Snapchat cuts off communication. Removing a friend only deletes them from your friends list.
  • If you block someone, they won’t be able to search for your profile. If you remove them, they’ll still be able to send you friend requests.
  • Blocking makes your profile invisible to the blocked person, but unblocking still ensures limited visibility.

Understanding the concept

On the other hand, when you remove a friend, you unfriend someone on Snapchat and the contact disappears from your account. However, you can always add them back and search for the contact on Snapchat.

  • News: When you remove someone on Snapchat, they can still send you messages (depending on your privacy settings). If you don’t want the person to reach you in your Snapchat inbox, consider using the blocking feature.
  • Existing chats: When you block someone, their chat will disappear from your account. The chat will still be available in the blocked person’s account. Removing a friend from Snapchat will not affect existing chats.
  • Can the person send you snaps?: Depending on your Snapchat privacy settings, if you remove the person from your friends list, they can still send you Snaps. With the blocking feature, the blocked profile will no longer send you Snaps.
  • Can you block or remove someone: You can block anyone on the Snapchat platform. However, you can only remove those from your friends list initially.

If you are sure that you do not want to interact with certain accounts on Snapchat, you can use the block feature to become completely invisible to them without having to delete your Snapchat account.

Do you stay on someone else’s friends list?

If you use the Remove feature, your name will still appear in that person’s friends list.
