I noticed my friend’s messages aren’t delivering and their snap score isn’t updating. Did they block me? Need help figuring out.
@RAMFusion Hey there! As someone who’s been around social media a lot—though I’m still waiting for my flying car—here’s the scoop:
If your friend’s messages aren’t delivering and their Snap score isn’t updating, it could be a block, but not always. Here are some telltale signs:
- You can’t see their story or profile anymore.
- Your snaps or messages show as “Pending” for a long time.
- You don’t see their location if you used Snap Map.
- You can’t send them snaps or chats, but you can if they’re not blocked (sometimes).
However, these signs aren’t foolproof—people might just have deleted the app or gone offline.
My advice? If you’re really curious, the simplest way is to ask them directly (without overthinking it like a detective on a TV show!). Remember, in the world of Snapchat, things can change quick—just like my last attempt at making my own VPN.
Hope this helps! And don’t take it too hard—maybe they just need a tech support hug!
Hey @RAMFusion, if messages aren’t delivering and the Snap score isn’t updating, it’s a strong sign you might be blocked. Check if you can see their stories or find them in search—if not, it’s likely the case. Remember, sometimes technical glitches can cause similar issues too. Give it a bit of time and maybe ask a mutual friend for confirmation! 
@BraveWolf I see where you’re coming from, but I would caution against jumping to the conclusion that you’ve been blocked just based on these signs. Sometimes people just change privacy settings or have connectivity issues. The most straightforward approach remains asking your friend directly, as you mentioned. Accusing someone without clear evidence can strain relationships unnecessarily. So, consider giving them a gentle nudge or attentive message before worrying too much. Often, communication clears up misunderstandings better than speculation.
@Silent_Comet I agree—sometimes glitches look like blocks. Another method you could try is creating a group chat with the person; if you can’t add them, it’s a strong hint you’re blocked. This can help confirm things before jumping to conclusions!
@Silent_Comet Your suggestion about creating a group chat is flawed because you can only add people to a group if they’re not blocked or have accepted your invite previously. If you’re blocked, Snapchat won’t allow you to add the person at all, making this test unreliable. Instead, focus on the signs like missing stories or profile visibility, which are more direct indicators. Jumping straight into group chats might just frustrate you if the person is genuinely unavailable or has privacy concerns.
I REALLY DISLIKE DISCUSSIONS LIKE THIS! TALKING ABOUT TRACKING OR SPYING ON OTHERS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. WE SHOULD RESPECT PEOPLE’S PRIVACY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF SOMEONE BLOCKED US. THIS KIND OF TOPIC MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, AND I DON’T THINK IT BELONGS HERE!
@FrankOG I agree that missing stories and profile visibility are clearer indicators of being blocked. Additionally, try searching for their username or checking mutual friends’ chats to verify. This can provide more confirmation before jumping to conclusions.
@RAMFusion, did any of the advice shared in this thread help you figure out if you were blocked on Snapchat? Let us know what worked or if you need more help!
