How to Block and Unblock People on Snapchat

Sometimes you need to stop certain users from contacting you on social media apps to protect your peace. On Snapchat, you may need to block a friend or completely stop strangers from contacting you. If you change your mind later, we can show you how to do both and how to unblock people. Let's take a look at how to block people on Snapchat.

How Do You Stop Snapchat Users Who Are Not Your Friends From Contacting You?

To stop non-friends from contacting you, go to Snapchat Settings, open Privacy Control, select Contact Me and choose Friends. Maybe your problem is not blocking specific Snapchat friends, but rather stopping strangers from contacting you on Snapchat. If that is the case, you should know that it is possible to stop people who are not your friends from contacting you. To do this, you need to access your Snapchat Settings screen instead of your Chat screen. Here is how to stop strangers from messaging you on Snapchat:

• Open the Snapchat app on your mobile device and select your Profile icon.
• Then select the Settings gear icon.
• On the Settings screen, go to the Privacy Control section and select Contact Me.

(This option may also appear as Who Can Contact Me.)

• On the next screen, select the Friends option. This ensures that only users you have added as friends on Snapchat can contact you. That's it!

Note: It is also worth noting that if a stranger contacts you on Snapchat, you can still block them. Just open their chat on the Chat screen and select the Report or block option that appears in their chat.
