Easiest Way to Block a Snapchat User

On Snapchat, if you wish to block someone on the app, you can do so from the Manage Friendship section. Here is how you can do so from their profile page.

1. In an ongoing chat, tap on the Bitmoji (or profile picture) of the user you are talking to.
2. This will take you to their profile page. Here, tap on the 3-dots icon at the top right.
3. Now, go to Manage Friendship > Block.

Other Ways to Block Someone on Snapchat

As we mentioned above, you have to navigate to the Manage Friendship section to block a Snapchat user. While there are other ways to block someone, the process remains the same once you reach the Manage Friendship. Let’s look at these other ways to get to the Manage Friendship screen.

1. From the Chat Screen

Now, it’s possible to block someone without visiting their profile directly from the Chat screen. Just long press their chat and the pop-up options menu will reveal the Manage Friendship option. Then, simply tap on Block and confirm your decision.

2. Block User via Snap Maps

Another way to access someone’s profile is through Snap Maps. Just navigate to the Snap Maps tab and tap on the Bitmoji of the person you wish to block. Then, open their profile and follow the steps from above to block someone on Snapchat.

3. Directly from their Story

Don’t like someone’s story and wish to block them? Well, the easiest way to block someone is by long tapping on their story from the Discover screen. This will bring up the Manage Friendship page, from where you can go and block the person.
