How to Reconnect on Snapchat After Blocking and Unblocking

If you've been blocking and then unblocking someone on Snapchat and you're having trouble reconnecting, there are several steps you can take. This guide will help you troubleshoot the issue and restore your connection with the person you're trying to reconnect with.

Assessing the Situation

First, check if you can still locate the person in your recent conversations. If you can find them, they should be able to find you as well. However, if you can't find them, there are a few steps you can follow to try and reconnect.

Contacting Customer Care

If you're still unable to reconnect, consider reaching out to Snapchat's customer care for assistance. They may be able to help resolve any technical issues that are preventing you from connecting with the person.

Check for Different Accounts:

Make sure you're not referencing a different account. Both you and the person you're trying to reconnect with should be using the same account. If you're sure you're using the correct account, proceed to contact Snapchat support either on their website or on Twitter.

Reviewing Your Settings

Double-check your Snapchat settings to ensure you aren't accidentally blocking them. Sometimes, a simple misstep can lead to a block without you realizing, so it's worth spending a few moments reviewing your settings.

Additionally, you should check if you have the latest version of the Snapchat app. Sometimes, updating the app can resolve connectivity issues. Keep an eye out for any notifications about app updates and make sure to install them promptly.

Unblocking and Readding

One of the most common reasons for being unable to reconnect is that one of you is not being completely honest. Both parties need to have their blocks removed to reconnect successfully.

Unblocking and Readding Steps:

Go to your Snapchat settings and check the 'Blocked' section. If you see the person you want to reconnect with, unblock them from there. Once they are unblocked, go to the 'Add Friends' section and search for their username. Locate their profile and add them as a friend.

Alternatively, if you can't find their username, you may need to ask a mutual friend to provide you with their username.

Additional Tips

If you have recently removed someone from your friends list, you can re-add them by searching their username. However, if you initially blocked them, you need to follow the steps above to unblock and then readd them.

Be patient and try readding them at different times, as Snapchat might be experiencing technical issues that could affect your ability to reconnect with people.

Remember, the key to reconnecting on Snapchat is communication and patience. If you follow these steps, you should be able to resolve most issues and reconnect with the people who matter to you.
