Have you ever been blocked on Snapchat? We’ve all been there, and it can be really annoying.
But what happens when you unblock someone on Snapchat? Do the messages get deleted?
In this blog post, I’ll be answering your burning questions about unblocking someone on Snapchat – from what happens when you unblock them to whether or not your messages will get deleted.
What Happens When You Unblock Someone on Snapchat & Do Messages Get Deleted?
When you unblock someone on Snapchat, a few things happen:
- Re-adding Friends: When you block someone on Snapchat, they’re removed from your friends list. So, after unblocking them, if you wish to see their stories or want them to see yours (if your privacy settings are set to ‘My Friends’), you’d have to re-add them as a friend. They won’t automatically become your friend again.
- Messages: When you block someone on Snapchat, any saved chats or messages are not deleted. However, if the chat was not saved by either party, it will disappear as per Snapchat’s usual chat expiration protocols. When you unblock the person, the previous chat history won’t suddenly reappear. Any new messages after unblocking can be sent and received as usual.
- Chats Before Blocking: If the person had sent you a chat before they were blocked, and you did not open it, you won’t see this message after unblocking. Basically, any chats sent by the blocked person during the period they were blocked will not be delivered to you after unblocking.
- Stories: Once you unblock and re-add them (and they add you back), you’ll be able to view their stories if their privacy settings allow it, and vice versa.
- Notifications: The person you unblock will not receive a notification that they have been unblocked. If you re-add them as a friend, they’ll get the usual friend request notification.
- Snap Score: After re-adding them, you’ll be able to see their Snap Score again, which is the number representing the total number of Snaps they’ve sent and received.
Remember, for privacy reasons, always be cautious and aware of who you’re communicating with on social media platforms, including Snapchat.
If someone’s behavior is inappropriate or makes you uncomfortable, you have every right to block or report them.
How to unblock someone on Snapchat
If you’ve ever accidentally blocked someone on Snapchat or just had a change of heart and want to unblock them, don’t worry – it’s easy to do! Here’s how:
First, open up the Snapchat app on your phone. From there, swipe down from the top of the screen to access your profile. Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen to access your settings.
In your settings menu, scroll down until you see “Blocked” under the “Who Can…” section.
Tap on that option and you’ll see a list of all the people you’ve currently blocked on Snapchat. Find the person you want to unblock and tap their name.
From there, you’ll be taken to their profile page where you can either tap “Unblock” next to their name or swipe left across their name and tap “Unblock” when prompted.
Once done, they will no longer be blocked and will have full access to contact you through Snapchat again.
It’s important to note that if they had previously added you as a friend before being blocked, they may need to add you again once unblocked – so make sure they are aware of this step.
And that’s it – with just a few quick taps in your settings menu, anyone can easily unblock someone on Snapchat without any hassle at all.
The immediate effects of unblocking a user on Snapchat
One feature of the Snapchat app is the ability to block other users, which prevents them from seeing your content or contacting you.
However, sometimes we may change our minds about who we want to block, and decide to unblock them. But what are the immediate effects of unblocking a user on Snapchat?
Firstly, when you unblock someone on Snapchat, they will immediately be able to see your Snaps and Stories again.
This means that any content you have posted since blocking them will now be visible to them.
Additionally, if they had sent you any Snaps or Chats while they were blocked, these messages will also become visible once they are unblocked.
Another immediate effect of unblocking someone on Snapchat is that it opens up communication between both parties again.
If the person you previously blocked was someone you regularly talked with on the app before blocking them, then this could be an opportunity for rekindling old friendships or connections.
You may feel relieved knowing that there are no longer any hard feelings between yourself and this person.
Lastly, it’s important to note that once you unblock someone on Snapchat, there is no way of hiding your content from them without blocking them again.
So make sure that before pressing ‘unblock’, all issues have been resolved as best as possible so as not to cause future problems down the line.
In conclusion,the effects of unblocking a user on Snapchat can vary depending on each unique situation; however one thing remains constant – once a user has been unblocked their access restrictions have been lifted thus opening up communication channels and allowing visibility into previously restricted posts.
