How do you make someone unfollow you on Snapchat?

There are a few different ways to get someone to unfollow you on Snapchat if that’s what you’re aiming to do. While you can’t directly make someone unfollow you, you can encourage them to do so through your behavior and snaps.

Be Boring

One of the easiest ways to get someone to unfollow you is to simply be boring. If you post mundane, repetitive, or uninteresting content, chances are that person will get tired of seeing it in their feed and end up unfollowing you. Here are some tips for being boring on Snapchat:

Post very frequently, especially with snaps that don’t have much effort put into them. The more you flood someone’s feed, the more likely they are to get annoyed.

Send repetitive snaps like selfies in the same location every day or snaps of your breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.
Only use the same one or two basic Snapchat filters on all your snaps.
Don’t engage back much or at all when the other person snaps you.

Never post Snaps with captions, drawings, or embellishments – just use basic photos.

Basically, you want the person to realize that keeping up with your snaps feels more like a chore than entertainment. Boring them into unfollowing you can work quite well if you keep it up for long enough.

Be Annoying

Similar to being boring, being downright annoying in your snaps is another easy way to push someone to unfollow you. This may require putting in more effort than just boring them, but ramping up irritating tendencies is sure to get the job done. Some annoyance tactics include:

Send a snapburst of 10+ snaps in a row, multiple times per day.
Send very frequent snaps past normal sleeping hours, interrupting their sleep.
Only send content you know they have no interest in or that they actively dislike.

Send a lot of long-winded rants about topics they don’t care about.
Reply to all their snaps with irrelevant comments that don’t engage with what they sent.
Send super close-up selfies with exaggerated facial expressions.

Spam them with song snippets in a musical Snapchat barrage.

The key is to intentionally try to irritate and aggravate them to their breaking point. Once you’ve succeeded in being a truly annoying Snapchat friend, they’ll likely remove you themselves.

Act Disinterested

If you want to take a more passive, hands-off approach, acting disinterested in their friendship and no longer making effort on Snapchat can lead to them unfollowing you. Some ways to come across disinterested include:

Let their snaps sit opened for hours before responding.
Only send very short one-word responses when you do reply.
Never ask them questions or show interest in what they send.

Stop sending good morning/goodnight snaps.
Let weeks go by without sending them anything.
Open their chat, but exit without sending a snap.

Generally come across as bored, unfriendly, and aloof.

If you give off the vibe that you no longer care about the Snapchat friendship, the other person will likely take the hint and unfollow you themselves before long. This can be an effective option if you want to subtly phase them out.

Argue With Them

Getting into arguments or having major conflicts with the other person is an almost guaranteed way to get unfollowed in a dramatic fashion. Here are some ideas for inciting arguments:

Deliberately bring up controversial topics you disagree on.
Mock or insult their opinions when they share them.
Send aggressive, passive-aggressive, or manipulative snaps.

Stir up unnecessary drama about mutual friends or acquaintances.
Send drunken late night rants insulting their character.
Threaten to post embarrassing photos of them as blackmail.

Falsely accuse them of lying, cheating, or talking behind your back.

Pick fights over every little thing and keep escalating the drama until they’ve had enough. Just be prepared to get blocked or unfollowed in a heated rage if you intentionally enrage someone like this.

Flirt With Their Significant Other

If the person who follows you has a boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, etc. who is also on Snapchat, you can generate drama by flirting with their partner. Some ideas include:

Comment flirty compliments on their S.O.’s selfies and snaps.
Send their S.O. frequent shirtless or revealing snaps.
Proposition their S.O. to meet up behind their back.

Take it up a notch by actually cheating with their partner.
Make inside jokes and tease about running away together.

Once the person finds out you’re flirting with their loved one, they’ll swiftly unfollow and block you, as well as possibly end their own relationship. However, intentionally destroying relationships in this way can be unethical, not to mention get you in legal trouble, so proceed with extreme caution.

Exclude Them

If your goal is to make the person feel rejected enough to unfollow you, you can intentionally exclude them from your Snapchat social circle. Some ways to show that you’ve excluded them:

Frequently post group hangouts with mutual friends that they weren’t invited to.
Create Snapchat groups and Stories with mutual friends that don’t include them.

Talk about inside jokes that exclude them.
Complain about them behind their back to mutual connections.
Openly talk about events, parties, or hangouts where they’re not welcome.

Crop them out of any group photos you post.

By visibly forming a social circle on Snapchat that they’re not part of, you can influence them to feel left out and unfollowed. They may then preemptively unfollow you themselves.

Show Off Without Them

Similar to excluding them, you can also post frequent glamorous content that leaves them feeling bad in comparison. Some ideas include:

Post photos on lavish vacations they can’t afford.
Show off your fancy new house, car, gadgets, or other purchases.
Brag about accomplishments, awards, public recognition, and other successes.

Flaunt an exciting life full of parties, events, and celebrity encounters.
Always look flawless and glamorous in your selfies.
Make it clear you’re living your best life while they’re not.

The more you make them feel inadequate with this type of showboating, the more likely they’ll unfollow. After all, who wants to stay connected to someone who makes you feel second-rate?

Unfollow Them First

If you don’t want to wait around for them to notice your efforts and unfollow you, take matters into your own hands by unfollowing them first instead. You’ll disappear from their friend’s list and they’ll get the hint. Here are some pointers for unfollowing effectively:

Do it abruptly without warning to send a message.

Time it right after they send a snap to you so they notice immediately.
Unfriend them from your other social media accounts at the same time.
Delete/block their phone number to cut off contact.

Avoid any communication so they know it’s permanent.
Act cold if you run into them in public to show your disinterest.

Unfollowing out of the blue can really get the message across that you’re decisively ending the Snapchat friendship. They’ll likely then unfollow you back themselves.

Summary

Here are some key takeaways for making someone unfollow you on Snapchat:

Bore them with mundane, repetitive snaps.
Annoy them by always snapping irritating or unnecessary content.

Act aloof and disinterested when they snap you.
Pick fights and create drama to drive them away.
Flirt with their S.O. to cause relationship turmoil.

Exclude them from your social circles and inside jokes.
Show off your life without them to stir up jealousy.
Take the initiative to unfollow them first.

While these tactics can be effective, it’s important to use discretion. Intentionally trying to hurt or provoke someone generally isn’t a kind approach. Always put yourself in their shoes and act with empathy.

If your goal is just to create distance from someone you’ve grown apart from, a gradual, passive phasing out is gentler than dramatic confrontation. But in some cases, a purposeful active approach gets the job done quickly when needed.

Know your intentions and the context of your relationship as you consider the best route to take. With smart, thoughtful effort, you can guide nearly anyone to hit that unfollow button.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a way to make someone unfollow you on Snapchat without them knowing?

Not directly. Snapchat will notify someone if you unfollow them, so there’s no stealthy way to make them unfollow you without them realizing. The closest thing you could do is block them – that will make you disappear from their friend list. But if they try to refollow you and can’t, they’ll know you blocked them. Overall there’s no way to secretly force someone to unfollow you on Snapchat without it being obvious.

What happens when you remove a friend on Snapchat?

Here’s what happens when you remove or unfollow someone on Snapchat:

They are immediately removed from your friend list and can no longer view your stories.

Any conversations you had with them disappear from your chat tab.
You disappear from their friend list as well.
They will be notified that you unfollowed them.

If you refollow each other, your prior chat history won’t reappear.
You can find and refollow them under “Added Me” unless they blocked you.

So removing a friend completely disconnects you on Snapchat unless you choose to refollow each other. It wipes your friendship and shared snaps on the app clean.

What does it mean if someone views your Snapchat story but doesn’t follow you?

If someone is viewing your Snapchat story but hasn’t added you as a friend, it likely means a couple things:

They came across your Snapchat profile and were intrigued enough by your story to view it.
They aren’t interested enough in your content to follow you or engage further, at least not yet.

They want to explore your story more before deciding whether to follow.
They may be interested in you romantically and checking you out.
They could be viewing your snaps secretly without you knowing.

In summary, it usually means they are still evaluating whether they want to follow you based on your public story. They are likely still on the fence, so your content will determine whether they follow you or lose interest.

Is it bad to delete someone from Snapchat?

Deleting someone from Snapchat isn’t necessarily bad. Here are some things to consider:

It’s justified if they did something to hurt, offend or betray your trust.

It can be okay if you’ve naturally grown apart and communicate elsewhere.
It’s fine to delete exes, romantic interests or people who make unwanted advances.
Unfollowing is rude if done suddenly over a minor disagreement.

It can come across as mean-spirited if you give no explanation.
Deleting someone just because they temporarily annoyed you may be an overreaction.

The context matters. If you have a valid, well-intended reason and handle it tactfully, deleting someone can be reasonable. But if done maliciously or impulsively without communicating, it can damage the relationship.

Conclusion

Getting unfollowed on Snapchat happens often naturally, but there are also many strategic ways to influence someone to unfollow you intentionally. While it should be handled delicately, intentionally cooling a Snapchat friendship can be beneficial if someone is causing stress or negativity you want to distance from.

With the right approach tailored to your specific situation, you can subtly guide someone to hit that unfollow button. Just be sure to reflect thoughtfully beforehand on your motivations and the healthiest path forward for all involved.
