Does Snapchat Notify When I Block Someone?
Snapchat does not notify a person you’ve blocked. This is a privacy feature offered by Snapchat to protect the identity of whoever is blocking someone.
The person you have blocked would not know that they have been blocked, and Snapchat will not send them any message informing them as well.
However, blocking them will not undo any snaps you have sent.
Blocking someone on Snapchat means losing all contact and interaction with that person on the app. You also may lose any prior Snapstreak you had.

What Happens When I Block Someone?
There are a few things that happen when you block someone on Snapchat.
Stop Receiving Snaps
First off, you will stop receiving snaps from them on Snapchat. They may be able to send you messages, but you would not be receiving them.
Interestingly, when a snap is sent to you from this blocked individual, it would show as delivered for the person but will not be received from your end.
This creates the impression that they have not been blocked when they have.
Remove From Friends List
When you block someone, Snapchat automatically unfriends that person from your friend list, so they will not be able to add you back even if you unblock them.
If you want to be their friend, you need to add them on Snapchat again.
Chat Still Intact
Another thing that happens is their chats with you won’t be deleted but from their end, the chats would remain intact.
The blocked person will still have all previous interactions you’ve had with them intact on their end.
No Screenshot Notification
Again, when you block someone on Snapchat, you would not know if they took a screenshot of one of your chats.
Since the chats on their end remain intact, they can take screenshots and you would have no idea.
You may try to unblock them and add them back, but you will not still be able to know if they took a screenshot of your chats.
Unable To Unsend Snap
Lastly, when you block someone on Snapchat, you will not be able to unsend any snaps once they have been sent.
Snaps are saved on cloud servers and are sent there once you hit the Send button; hence they cannot be unsent.
