Snapchat, one of the best social media services in the industry, prides itself on its privacy and granular control features. It doesn’t make your friends list visible, it gives you all the control you want over your account, and it even helps you reconnect with lost Snapchat friends.
With that thought in mind, today we will look at one of the most popular topics on social media: stop being friends with someone. Today, we will check to see if the Snapchatter you are not friends with receives a notification of your misdeeds.

Will Snapchat send a notification to the person it deleted?
Like on Facebook or Instagram, Snapchat does not sell you to the person you are not friends with. They are not notified and will not know for sure what has happened to them until they start investigating or try to send you a Snap.

What happens when you eliminate someone?
When you delete someone from Snapchat, they disappear from your friends list and they can no longer see your location on the Snap map. Since you removed them from your friends list, you will no longer see their conversation history.
Depending on your preferences, they may stop watching your stories and cameos selfies. Your Snapchat points, also known as Snapscore, would not be available to them either.
Even if you had an active conversation with them, all the Snaps they send would be on ‘Pending’. They could still search for you, but most of your profile would be blocked from them.
Finally, removing them from your friends list will not automatically remove you from theirs. They would even have the conversation history, with the message stating that they can’t send you messages until you add them back.

What is the difference between delete and block?
Removing a Snapchatter from your friends list is nice, but it’s not comparable to the destruction that blocking brings.
When you stop being friends with someone, they stop showing up in your friends list, inbox, and snapshot map. The blockade, on the other hand, confines you to your separate worlds. You cannot search for them if you want to add them back. Likewise, they also couldn’t find you on Snapchat and hit a Snap if they wanted to. Snapchat won’t send a notification, of course, but blocking someone is much more remarkable than simply unfriending.

How to re-add someone after deleting
Adding a Snapchat user again is the same as adding them for the first time. If you know their username, all you have to do is go to the ‘Search’ bar at the top of the screen and search for them.
When they appear below the ‘Add Friends’ banner, tap the ‘Add’ button to add them back to Snapchat.
It should be noted that while Snapchat doesn’t notify users when you remove them from your friends list, it will definitely make a peep when you add them back. This means that they will clearly see that you have added them again, which would reveal that you stopped being friends with them a while ago.

Can you send the Snaps during their waiting time?
As we have mentioned before, the Snaps that someone sends you during the waiting time, when you were not friends with the person, would be shown as pending. This simply means that Snapchat is waiting for you to add them back to your list and would connect the two of you when you do. So yes, if you decide to add them back to your friends list, you will be able to get all the Snaps that were sent to you during your wait time.

Will you get your text message history back after adding them back?
Since you can get the Snaps that were sent to you during your “break”, it’s safe to assume that you would also retrieve your conversation history. All you have to do is add them back as friends and your relationship with Snap will be as good as new. All of her previous conversation would reappear, allowing her to pick up where she left off.
