Did they block you or simply <strong>unadd<\/strong> (remove) you? Snapchat doesn\u2019t notify you when someone removes you as a friend, leaving you guessing. Understanding the difference between being unadded vs. blocked is crucial. This guide shows you the clear signs that someone has unadded you on Snapchat, plus how to confirm without alerting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unadded vs. Blocked<\/strong>: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Situation<\/th><th>You can search them?<\/th><th>Send a Snap?<\/th><th>See their story?<\/th><th>Chat history remains?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Unadded (removed)<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2705 Yes, username appears<\/td><td>\u2705 Yes, but goes to \u201cPending\u201d<\/td><td>\u2705 If their story is public or friends only?
