If you've decided someone's no longer worth your Snapchat time, deleting them is a straightforward process. Open Snapchat and go to the chat with the person you want to delete.

First, you'll need to block them to prevent any further unwanted interactions. To do this, go to the chat with the person, tap the three dots on the top right corner, and select "Block."

Blocking someone on Snapchat also removes them from your friends list. This means you won't see any of their snaps or stories, and they won't be able to contact you.

To confirm that the person has been blocked, go to your settings and select "Blocked Contacts."

Removing Friends on Snapchat

You can remove friends on Snapchat by accessing their profile from the Chat screen or your My Friends screen.

If you want to remove someone from your friend list, they won't be notified that you've removed them. They will no longer see your private stories and charms, but your chats with them will remain in your chat list unless you clear them.

To remove someone from your friend list, you can access their profile from the Chat screen or your My Friends screen. There are two methods to do this, and we'll cover them both below.

Here's a step-by-step guide to removing friends on Snapchat:

1. Open the Snapchat app and tap on your Bitmoji at the top left corner.

2. Scroll down and select My Friends under "Friends".

3. Search for the person you want to remove by scrolling through your list of friends or by typing their name inside the search bar at the top.

4. Tap on the Bitmoji of the person you want to remove.

5. Tap on the 3-dots icon at the top right corner.

6. Select Manage Friendship.

7. Tap on Remove Friend.

8. Confirm your decision by tapping on Remove.

Alternatively, you can remove someone from the Chat screen by tapping and holding on their name. Select Manage Friendship from the overflow menu that appears, then tap on Remove Friend, and finally confirm your decision by tapping on Remove.

It's worth noting that if you also want to block someone, you can do so by following the same steps and tapping the red Block option instead of Remove Friend. This will simultaneously remove the user from your Friends list and block them, so that they are unable to contact you and vice versa.

Here's a summary of what happens when you remove someone on Snapchat:

  • They will no longer see your private stories and charms

Blocking vs Removing on Snapchat

Blocking someone on Snapchat is a bit different from removing them, so let's break it down. If you block someone, they won't be able to search for you, view your public story, or send you messages.

When you block someone, messages from them will show as "Pending" on their phone, but you won't receive them. This is a more drastic measure than removing someone, which is what we'll cover next.

To remove someone from Snapchat, you can simply delete them from your account. This will stop them from being able to contact you, but it won't affect their ability to search for you or view your public story.

Here's a key difference: if you remove someone, they'll be automatically removed from your best friends list when Snapchat refreshes your friend list. This is because Snapchat analyzes your snap score to determine your best friends, and if you interact less with someone, they'll be removed from that list.

  • Saved messages will still be visible
  • They can still send snaps and messages if your privacy settings allow it
