How to Unblock Someone on Snapchat

If you blocked a friend by accident, or have finally decided to give that spammer a second chance, then you'll need to know how to unblock someone on Snapchat. The process is really easy, just see Step 1 below to get started.

Steps

Open Snapchat and go to your friends list. You can do this by clicking on the icon with the lines in the bottom right of the camera screen.

Scroll down to the "Blocked" list. This is at the bottom of the "My Friends" page, beneath the red line. Find the name of the person you wish to unblock.

Tap on the name, then click on the gear icon and select "Unblock" from the list of options. This person is now unblocked, so their name will return to its previous position on your friends list. They will now be able to send you snaps and view your stories.^[1]

Re-add deleted friends. If you discover that you accidentally deleted someone instead of blocking them, you will have to re-add them.
- You can do this by tapping on the friends icon in the top right corner of the "My Friends" page, then tapping on the search icon in the far-right tab.
- Search for the person's username, then click on the add friend icon beside it. Once they accept your request, their name will reappear on your friends list and you will be able to exchange snaps. ^[2]

Tips

If you are receiving random Snapchats from people you don't know, you can change your settings so only your friends can send you snaps. You can do this by going to the settings page (by clicking on the gear icon at the top right-hand corner of your feed) and choosing "My Friends" under the "Who Can Send Me Snaps" option.
