1. You cannot view their Snapcode

When you have been unfriended on the app, you cannot see their Snapcode. A Snapcode is a unique image that looks like a QR code used for different things on the platform. Snapcodes can be used to add new friends, link to websites, and connect to exclusive content. If you cannot view the code, the user has unadded you.

2. You cannot view their Snapscore

Snapscore is a number that indicates how active you are on the platform. This score is based on how many Snaps and messages you send and receive. You should be able to see your friend's score if you both follow each other.

3. You are unable to find their username or full name on Snapchat

There are different ways to find a user on the app. You can search for their username directly or sync your phone's contacts. To know someone has unadded you, type the person's username in the search bar. If the person's name does not appear, they have unadded or blocked you.

Another way to know if someone unadded you is if your shared Snaps are still pending. You are no longer friends if you recently sent snaps and they are still pending. You can send a message to confirm the status, and if it shows pending, you have been unfriended.

5. They are active when you use a different account

Another way to determine whether someone has unadded you is to use another Snapchat account. Here, you can search your friend's name, and if their name pops up, they have unadded you from your old account.

6. They don't appear on viewer's list when you post a story

When you post a story on the app, you expect your friends to view it. If your friend has unadded you, they cannot view your stories. Although this is not always the case, it could give you an idea of who is still on your friend list.
