How can I block someone on Snapchat?

Asked 6 months ago
To block someone on Snapchat, a user should follow a few straightforward steps. First, they need to open the Snapchat application and navigate to the Friends screen, which is accessible by swiping down on the camera screen or tapping on the square icon at the bottom right. Once on the Friends screen, the user should find the person they wish to block. They can either search for the person’s username using the search bar or scroll through their friends list. After locating the individual, the user should press and hold on to their name to bring up a menu. In this menu, there will be an option to "Block." By selecting this option, the user will successfully block the person, preventing them from sending messages or viewing their snaps. It is always wise to review the privacy settings to ensure that the user's preferences are aligned with their expectations. For further assistance, they may refer to the help section on Snapchat's website.
