If you haven’t seen any activity from one of your Snapchat friends in a while, you might wonder whether they’ve deleted their account. While there’s no direct way to tell if someone has deleted their Snapchat, there are a few workarounds you can try to figure it out. In this article, we’ll talk about how to tell whether someone has deleted their account or blocked you on Snapchat.

Finding Out if Someone Deleted Their Snapchat

First, search for their username and see if you can send them a message. If that doesn't work, login to a new Snapchat account and search their name, to make sure you weren't blocked. If they still don't show up, they likely deleted.

  1. Step 1 Search for their username. 1 Search for their username. If you search for someone on Snapchat and their profile doesn’t pop up, it’s possible that they deleted their account. To get started, launch the Snapchat app. Then, type their username into the search bar at the top of the screen.[1] Any similar or matching usernames should pop up in the area below the search bar.
    • If no matching usernames pop up, then the person has probably either deleted their account or blocked you on Snapchat.
    • If you’re not sure what the person’s username is, you may be able to find them by searching for their name or phone number.
  2. Step 2 See if you can send them a message. 2 See if you can send them a message. Even if someone has deleted their Snapchat, you may still be able to see any saved messages that they sent you. However, you won’t be able to send them any new messages.[2] If you think the person might have deleted their account, go into your chat history and see if you’re able to start a chat or respond to any of their saved messages.
    • If they’ve deleted their account and you don’t have any saved messages from them, you might not be able to find the person in your chat history at all. They also won’t show up if you search for their name in the chat screen.
    • When you try to send a message to a deleted account, you may get an error message such as Failed to send your message or Pending.
    • You also won’t be able to send messages to users who have blocked you on Snapchat, so being unable to send a message doesn’t necessarily mean the person’s account is deleted.

  3. Step 3 Try searching from a different account in case they blocked you. 3 Try searching from a different account in case they blocked you. If someone has blocked you on Snapchat, you won’t be able to see their stories or interact with them.[3] They also won’t show up in your searches. If you’re not sure whether someone has deleted their account or blocked you, try logging in with a new Snapchat account and searching for them that way.[4] If you still can’t see their profile or stories, there’s a good chance the account is deleted.
    • If you don’t want to create a whole new account, you can also ask a friend to search for them for you while logged in under their own account.
  4. Step 4 Ask them directly. 4 Ask them directly. The only sure way to find out if someone has deleted their Snapchat account is to ask them. If it’s someone you know outside of Snapchat, try contacting the person (over phone or text, email, or a different social media platform) to find out what’s going on with their account.

Tips

  • After someone deletes their Snapchat account, their memories and other data are still stored in the system for 30 days before their account is permanently deleted.[5] However, it’s not clear whether other users can see their profile, memories, or any of their other data during this grace period.
