How to unblock someone on Snapchat

Snapchat has a feature that allows you to block users you don’t want to interact with, and it also lets you unblock them if you have changed your mind. Here’s how to unblock someone on Snapchat.

Snapchat provides users with a feature to block other accounts. This is useful for various reasons, such as maintaining privacy, avoiding unwanted messages, or simply keeping your social feed more manageable.

However, circumstances change, and you may eventually want to reconnect with someone you’ve previously blocked. Understanding how to unblock a user is crucial for those looking to manage their connections efficiently.

How do you unblock someone on Snapchat?

The process of unblocking someone is simple. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open Snapchat.
2. Tap your profile icon at the top left corner of the screen.
3. Press the gear icon in the top right corner to access ‘Settings.’
4. Scroll down to the ‘Account Actions’ section.
5. Click ‘Blocked.’
6. Find the user you want to unblock.
7. Tap the ‘X’ next to their name to unblock them.

After unblocking them, the user won’t automatically become your friend again on Snapchat. If you wish to reconnect completely, you will need to search for their username and add them as a friend once more.

How do I add someone back after blocking them?

If you want to add someone after unblocking them, just do as follows:

1. Open Snapchat.
2. Tap the magnifying glass icon in the top-left corner.
3. Type in the person’s username or name.
4. Press the ‘Add’ button, which will be to the right of the username.

A friend request will now be sent. If the user accepts, you’ll see them on your friends list.
