If you think a certain user has unfriended you on Snapchat, there are a few hints that may confirm that suspicion. Let us assist you in identifying if someone has indeed deleted you off their friends list with these simple steps.
- Confirm If The Name Is On Your Friends List
One way you can check is to see if that person is still on your friends list, ‘My friends’.
Steps:
- Launch the Snapchat app and click on the profile icon located at the top left corner of the screen.
- Scroll down select “My Friends”.
- Search for their username using the available search bar.
If you cannot find their name, this could indicate that snap may have unfriended you, blocked you or even deleted their account.
- Check In Chats To See If There’s An X Next To Their Name
Most users will have a camera icon next to their names that allow for easy snapping. If instead of a camera, you see an “X” mark, this signifies removal of friendship from either side: you or the individual has unilaterally “removed” you, or they sent a friend request that was not accepted. - Check The Snap Score
The snap score of a user can only be viewed by friends which means that mutual friends are always needed. If friends of friends show you this throughout their accounts, then thier sus likely gone.
To view it:
- Launch Snapchat and press the search icon
- Type the handle of the selected user and click on their profile
- Check for the snap scores indicated under their name.
No Snap Score available? If so, it probably means that they have removed you from their friends list.
- Opt to Snaps or Send Messages
It is possible that even if a person has removed you from their friends list, you can still send snaps and messages to that person via their chat. However, all messages sent will be “Pending” and will not go through until they add you back.
Steps:
Go to chats, locate the desired person, and open the chat.
Send message or snap.
If it is stuck in “Pending,” then you will know you have been unfriended if it never moves from that status.
- View their stories
Friends’ stories always fall under the “friends” category while other people’s stories are under “subscriptions.” a tell-tale sign that lets a user know they have been unfriended is if a person’s stories transitioned to “subscriptions.”
- Check details of their profiles
You checking a friend’s profile snap score, zodiac sign and even their details are readily available for viewing. However, if you do not see these pieces of information, then it means you are no longer friends on Snapchat.
- Look them up using their username
Under search, add the username of the person and if you can see them accompanied with an add button, then this means that they have removed you. In the case you cannot see them at all, it means that you might have been blocked or that the account has been deleted.
- Look for Omissions in Call Options
When it comes to calling a friend, you can either call them using voice or video. If either of these has been grayed out, then that’s a sign that you could have been unfriended .
- Ask People in Common
Incase of doubt, you can always ask people in common whether he/she has the person in their friends or not. If the answer is yes and it is no for you, then you have mostlikely been unfriended .
- Distinguish Unfriending with Blocking
In order to fully understand the concept of unfriending, one has to first explore blocking and unfriending.
Unfriended: This means the person can be messaged and their profile is still visible but no messages will be seen by them until added back.
Blocked: You cease to interact with the person and their profile will not be accessible to you.
Wrapping Up
These strategies work well where Snapchat does not actively notify users when they are unfriended by someone. It is inevitable that some online relationships change and forms of disconnect will happen so it’s important that as humans we focus on the relationships that matter and with users who truly want to connect with someone.
