It might have more competition than ever before, but Snapchat remains a popular app, with over 400,000,000 daily active users.
The app has been keeping us entertained since the early 2010s, with the novelty of sending funny or filtered photos to our pals – which disappear seconds after they’ve been viewed – yet to wear off.
Of course, things don’t always go as they should on any social media app, and there may well come a time during your Snapchatting when you want to block someone. We’ve all done it, after all.
But if you’ve blocked someone by mistake, or decide that you want them back in your Snapchat circle, just how do you go about unblocking them?
Luckily, Snapchat’s unblocking process is pretty straightforward…

To unblock someone on your Snapchat, follow these simple steps:
Tap your profile icon in the top of the screen
Once you’ve done this, tap the gear icon which appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen which will open Settings
Scroll down the menu of options until you find the ‘Blocked users’ option, which is towards the bottom of the menu under the subheading ‘Privacy controls’
Open this up and it will give you a list of usernames of people you’ve blocked
Tap the ‘X’ to the right of the username of the person you want to unblock.
The person will now be unblocked.

Bear in mind if you do unblock someone, they will be able to view your Snapchat Stories and Charms, as well as send you Snaps and Chats of their own.
If there were on your friends list, you will also have to once again add them as a friend, since blocking them will automatically unfriend them at the same time.
However, if you unblock someone that you had a message history with, these messages will reappear once you have unblocked them and added them to your friends list once again.
