How to block someone on Snapchat 2025: Easy mobile steps, what happens after, unblock guide, remove/report options & new anti-harassment features—full tutorial

Dealing with unwanted snaps, messages, or harassment on Snapchat? Learning how to block someone on Snapchat gives you instant control—stopping them from viewing your stories, sending chats, or even finding your profile. In 2025, Snapchat's block feature is stronger than ever, with improved tools to prevent repeat contact from new accounts on the same device.

This simple guide shows how to block someone on Snapchat on mobile (Android/iPhone), what happens after, and alternatives like removing or reporting—all updated for the latest app version.

Why Block vs Remove vs Report: What's the Difference?

Choose the right action:

Block — Full cut-off: No snaps, chats, stories, or profile access. Best for harassment.
Remove Friend — They stay able to message/view public stories unless privacy set.
Report — For violations (spam, threats)—Snapchat reviews and may suspend account.

Blocking is silent—no notification sent to the person.
