Snapchat: the land of disappearing messages and streaks. But what happens when someone *really* disappears? Wondering if you've been blocked? It's a common concern, and while Snapchat doesn't send out official 'you've been blocked!' announcements, there are telltale signs.
First, **search for their username.** If you can't find them when searching, that's strike one. It could mean they've changed their username, but it's worth noting.
Next, **check your recent chat history.** If their name is gone, vanished without a trace, that's strike two. Blocked friends disappear from your chat log.
Finally, try sending them a Snap. If you can still see the 'Send' option, tap it. If it says 'Failed to Send', it's another big clue.
While none of these are definitive proof, a combination of all three strongly suggests you've been blocked. Remember, they could have also deleted their account or have technical issues, but blocked is the most probable reason for this online vanishing act. Now you know!
