How to get unblocked by someone on snapchat

Steps

   Tap your profile icon. This Bitmoji face is in the top-left corner of the screen.

   • If you don't use Bitmoji with Snapchat, this icon will resemble the silhouette of a person's head and shoulders.

   Scroll down and tap Blocked. This is in the "ACCOUNT ACTIONS" section at the bottom of the page. Doing so brings up a list of people who you've blocked.

   Tap Yes when prompted. This will unblock the user, allowing you to contact them again and vice versa.[1]

   Add the unblocked user as your Snapchat friend again. Depending on the other person's privacy settings, you may need to add them to your friends list (and have them add you back) in order to chat with them again.

   • You can add people by searching their usernames or scanning their Snapcodes.
   • You may need to wait up to 24 hours to add someone back if you've deleted them from your friends list.

• Question

  Why isn't Snapchat letting me add my friend back to my friends list?

  

  If you've deleted someone from your friends list, you'll need to wait at least 24 hours before you can add them again. Try again tomorrow.

• Question

  After I unblock someone, how do I send them Snaps again?

  

  You may need to add the unblocked person as a friend again, and that person may need to add you back as well, depending on their privacy settings. Once you're both friends again, you can send and receive Snaps without seeing the "Pending" message.

• Question

  If I sent a message to someone and then blocked them before they saw it, will they be able to see it if I unblock them?

  

  If it has been 24 hours, I don't think so. It's the same when someone sends you a sentence in the "chat" and you don't open it. It expires after a day so they can't see it.

• If you are receiving random Snapchats from people you don't know, you can change your settings so only your friends can send you snaps. You can do this by tapping the Settings gear and then selecting Friends in the Contact Me tab of the "Who Can..." section.

• You'll need to re-friend someone after unblocking them if you want to go back to being Snapchat friends, which means they'll know that you unfriended them at the very least.
