Trying to message someone on Snapchat who has blocked you can be frustrating. When someone blocks you on Snapchat, it means they no longer want to receive messages or snaps from you. Unfortunately, there is no direct way around this block on Snapchat.
Can you message someone who blocked you on Snapchat?
The short answer is no. If someone has blocked you on Snapchat, you cannot send them individual or group messages, view their story, see their location, or view their Snapchat score. From your end, it will seem like they no longer exist on Snapchat.
If you try to send a snap or chat to someone who blocked you, it will fail to send and you will receive an error saying something like “Pending” or “Failed to send.” You will not get a notification that you have been blocked, their account will simply disappear from your friends list.
Why can’t you message a blocked account on Snapchat?
Snapchat’s blocking feature is designed to completely remove the blocked person’s access to the blocker’s account. Here are some key things to know about blocking on Snapchat:
- When you block someone, you are completely removing them from your Snapchat world.
- They cannot see your stories or location, and you disappear from their friends list.
- Any messages sent to a blocked account will fail to send.
- Blocking is anonymous – the blocked person is not notified they have been blocked.
So in summary, messaging someone who has blocked you is impossible on Snapchat because the block severs all forms of communication between the accounts.
Can someone who blocked you see your Snapchat stories?
No, someone who has blocked you will not be able to see your public Snapchat stories or private stories you post. When an account blocks you, they are removing you fully from being able to interact with their account at all.
The blocked person will not get notifications about your stories and the stories will not appear in their feed. Essentially it’s like your account no longer exists to them on Snapchat.
Will a blocked person receive your Snapchat group messages?
If someone has blocked you on Snapchat, you will be unable to send them individual or group messages. Even if you try to include the blocked account in a group message, they will not receive the messages.
When you are blocked by someone, you are completely removed from being able to interact with them at all on Snapchat. Group messages included. So no, a blocked contact will not get your Snapchat group messages.
Can you get around a Snapchat block?
There is no official way to get around someone blocking you on Snapchat. The blocking feature is specifically designed to prevent all communication, so attempting to circumvent it would go against Snapchat’s Terms of Service.
That said, here are some things that will NOT work to message a blocked account:
- Creating a new Snapchat account
- Using someone else’s Snapchat account
- Sending messages from a different app
- Removing and re-adding the person as a friend
If the person has blocked you, the only way to message them again is if they choose to unblock you. There is no workaround that will allow you to contact someone who has blocked you.
What can you do if someone has blocked you on Snapchat?
If you discover someone has blocked you on Snapchat, here are some constructive things you can do:
- Respect their decision and move on. Do not attempt to contact them from other accounts or apps.
- Reflect on what may have prompted them to block you and learn from it.
- Delete or block their account back so you don’t see their profile.
- Focus your energy on people who want to connect with you.
While being blocked can feel frustrating, it’s important to respect the blocker’s decision. Harassing them from other accounts or trying to find workarounds will likely make the situation worse.
Can you find out if someone blocked you on Snapchat?
Snapchat does not directly notify you if you’ve been blocked by someone. However, there are some signs you can watch for:
- Their account disappears from your Friends list
- You cannot view their Snapchat Story
- Your messages to them fail to send
- Their Bitmoji disappears from group chats
- Their score and/or “last seen” disappears
If one or more of these things happen suddenly, it likely means you’ve been blocked. While you won’t get definitive confirmation, these clues indicate they have removed you from their Snapchat friends list.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to message someone who has blocked you on Snapchat. Their block severs all forms of communication between the accounts. While being blocked can be disappointing, it’s important to respect their decision and not try to force contact from other accounts or apps. Focus your energy on the people who have not blocked you and want to connect on Snapchat.
