How to Unblock Someone on Snapchat: Regain Connections in 3 Steps
Unblocking someone on Snapchat doesn’t notify them—but restores their access to your content. Here’s how to reverse a block on iOS and Android, plus key privacy considerations.
Step-by-Step Guide (2025 Update)
- Open Settings
- Tap your Profile Icon (top-left) → Settings Gear (top-right).
- Navigate to Blocked Users
- Scroll to Privacy Controls → Blocked.
- Unblock the Account
- Find the user’s name → Tap Unblock → Confirm.
Both iOS and Android follow the same steps.
What Happens Next?
- No Notification: They won’t be alerted but can view your public Stories and send Snaps.
- Friendship Status: You’ll need to re-add them as a friend manually to restore mutual access.
- Previous Chats: Old messages remain deleted unless saved before blocking.
Privacy Tips After Unblocking
- Custom Story Settings: Exclude them from specific Stories via Audience Selector.
- Ghost Mode: Restrict location sharing in Snap Map settings.
- Limit Interactions: Use “Forget Chats” to auto-delete messages after 24 hours.
Key Takeaways
- Unblock via Profile → Settings → Blocked (no platform differences).
- Re-add as a friend to resume mutual messaging and viewing.
- Adjust privacy settings post-unblock to control visibility.
- Snapchat retains no record of past blocks after removal.
Unblocking revives the connection—manage it wisely with tailored privacy tools.
