Snapchat fosters a sense of community and engagement. It essentially centers on users interacting with one another, be it in the form of direct conversations or sending snaps to each other. It also cares a lot about the privacy of its users. Snapchat has a strict policy about protecting and safeguarding the confidentiality and data of its users. Therefore, it updates its users about any changes or developments happening in their accounts. You get a notification when someone wants to be friends, when someone adds you, as well as when you receive a new message.
When a user who you have sent a friend request to adds you back, you get a notification saying that they have Added You Back. That’s when you know they are now in your friend list. You can now exchange snaps and messages with each other and view one another’s stories.
In this blog, we will explore the various reasons why someone who has blocked you on Snapchat might be appearing under the Added Me section, saying that they have Added You Back when you haven’t added them. Let’s get started.
If Someone Has Blocked Me, Why Do They Appear in Added Me as “Added You Back” When i Haven’t Added Them?
Snapchat is a place where you can meet like-minded people and discover new interests. You can connect with new people and make a huge friend circle on the platform. However, sometimes you may connect with the wrong people or be a part of a friendship that goes in the wrong or unwanted direction.
In such cases, you might block or remove them from your friend list and vice versa. If someone has blocked you on Snapchat, it is generally not possible for them to appear in the Added Me section saying that they have Added You Back.
When someone blocks you, it usually means they want to prevent any form of communication or interaction with you on that platform. You won’t be able to send them snaps, view their story, or contact them through the platform.
If someone who has blocked you on Snapchat still appears in the Added Me section with the status Added You Back, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Let’s explore them one by one.
Cached Information
It’s possible that Snapchat’s interface may not update immediately after someone blocks you. As a result, their name may still appear in your Added Me section with the outdated status. This could be a temporary glitch, and the information may update correctly in due time.
Delayed Blocking Status
Next, it’s possible that the person initially added you on Snapchat, and you received a notification stating that they added you back. However, before you could add them, they decided to block you.
In this scenario, Snapchat might not instantly reflect the change in their status, and they would still appear as Added You Back in your Added Me section.
Re-added by mistake
It is also possible that the person who blocked you on Snapchat may have accidentally re-added you as a friend. The person in question may have unblocked you, re-added you, and then blocked you again, leading to the confusing notification.
Multiple accounts
The next possible reason could be that the person who has blocked you has multiple Snapchat accounts.
If so, they might have added you back using a different account. In this case, the notification could be indicating that a different account associated with the same person has added you.
Snapchat bug or glitch
Lastly, like any other app, Snapchat may encounter occasional bugs or glitches.
If you’re seeing a notification that someone who has blocked you has Added You Back, it could be due to a glitch or technical issue within the platform itself. Such glitches can occur occasionally, causing incorrect information to be displayed.
