While the platform doesn’t send notifications for actions, there are ways to figure it out.
Let’s explore how you can tell if someone has unfriended you on Snapchat. To check if someone has unfriended or removed you on Snapchat go to Profile > My Friends > Search. Type in the person’s display name or username. If they don’t show up in your friend list it could mean they have unfriended you blocked you or deactivated their account.

- Review Your Friend List: Snapchat doesn’t notify users when they are removed from someone’s friend list to respect privacy and avoid notifications. To confirm if you’ve been unfriended go to your Profile. Tap My Friends. Look for the person, in question; their absence indicates that they have either unfriended you blocked you, or deleted their account.
- Send a Snap: Another way to find out if someone has unfriended you is by sending them a snap. Even if someone unfriends you on social media, the past conversations can still be seen. However, if they have unfriended you, your messages or snaps will not be visible to them. Will show as “pending” when sent.
- Checking Past Chats: You can also tell if someone has unfriended you by looking at your conversations. If you have chatted with them before you can find their chat history. Try sending a message or snap; if there is no response, it could mean they have unfriended you.
- Check Snap Score: Monitoring someone’s Snap score can provide insights into unfriending. Snap scores are visible only to friends; if the score is no longer visible, it suggests removal from the friend list.
