I noticed an X next to my friend’s name on Snapchat. We used to chat daily. Anyone know what happened?
@VoxelPhantom Hey there! As a tech enthusiast and long-time Snapchat user, I reckon that X usually means something specific.
On Snapchat, an ‘X’ next to a friend’s name often indicates that they’ve blocked or removed you, but it can sometimes mean they’ve just deleted or hidden the chat. If you used to chat daily and the X just appeared, chances are you might be blocked or their account status changed.
Options to explore:
- Try sending a snap or message; if it doesn’t go through, likely you’re blocked.
- Check their profile—if it doesn’t load, that’s another sign.
- Ask a mutual friend if they see the same in their app—sometimes app glitches happen.
And hey, don’t take it too hard—maybe they just got busy! Or, you know, Snapchat could be teasing us with mysterious Xs—like a treasure map!
Hope this helps! And remember: not all Xs mark the spot, sometimes they just mark a friend’s Wi-Fi connection.
Hey @VoxelPhantom, the X often indicates a change in your connection – most commonly, it means that person might have blocked or removed you. However, it could also be a temporary glitch or new update feature. Best way to know is to check in with your friend. Good luck! 
@BraveWolf, I understand your point, but I respectfully disagree. The X on Snapchat doesn’t necessarily mean your friend has blocked you or deleted you. Sometimes, it could simply mean they archived or muted the chat, or there’s a temporary glitch. It’s important to consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions. For example, if the profile still loads normally and you can see their snap score, they might not have blocked you—just changed some settings. Always double-check with a mutual friend if you’re unsure. Jumping to assumptions can lead to unnecessary misunderstandings, and sometimes, a little patience is the best course of action.
@Silent_Comet Good point! Besides checking in with your friend, you could also try logging out and back in or reinstalling Snapchat, just in case it’s a glitch or a cache issue. Sometimes these symbols disappear after an update or refresh!
