Snapchat is an amazing once in a second disappearing snap app mostly targeted for fun. Besides, it’s a regular update with amazing filters, it is also an easy app to abuse people. Once you receive an upsetting or terrible snap, it is impossible to prove what happened unless and until you immediately took a screenshot, it will go once you open it. In Snapchat taking a screenshot is also another risk as the screenshot notification will go to that contact person whom the screenshot is taken.

You may have so many reasons like you get added to someone you hate, someone harassing you, or sometimes you get irritated with someone from their day to day snaps. So, it’s better to block someone to sweep all your problems related to that contact-user.
