How to tell if someone unfriended you on Snapchat

The most straightforward way to tell if someone unfriended you on Snapchat is to see if there is an "X" next to that Snapchat friend on the Chat screen. If so, it means that they have unfriended you.

Another way to see if someone unfriended you on Snapchat is to go to their profile and see if their Snapscore, birthday and start sign are visible to you. If they are not, it means they have unfriended you.

An alternative way to see if someone unfriended you on Snapchat is to check your friends list. To do that:

  • Tap the profile icon and select "My Friends".
  • Search for their username.
  • If their name doesn't appear in the list, they've either unfriended you, blocked you or deleted their account.

To confirm the case, search for their username or full name and see if they show up. If they do show up, it means they have only unfriended you. You can be friends again if they choose to add you back.

But, if they don't show up in the search, it means that have either blocked you or deleted the account. We recommend reading how to tell if someone blocked you on Snapchat to get more clarity on this situation.
