What does “pending” mean on Snapchat?
Pending on Snapchat means the user didn’t add you back or they removed you from the friends list.
It could also mean that the user blocked you or they deleted their account.
If you do not have an internet connection, a “Pending” status may also be displayed.
Here are the causes of the situation on Snapchat.
1. Users don’t add you back
The first reason why it says Pending on Snapchat is that the user didn’t add you back as a friend.
Whenever you add someone on Snapchat, you can start sending them snapshots and messages.
If the user doesn’t add you back, the status below their username will be “Pending”.
After the user adds you as a friend, the status will change from “Pending” to “Received” or “Opened”.
However, if the user doesn’t add you back, the status below their username will be “Pending”.
If the user re-adds you, the status will be “Received” if they see your message
Otherwise, if the user opens the snap, the status will change from Received to Opened.
In order for these statuses to be displayed, users need to add you back on Snapchat.
Only then will the status change whenever you send them a snap or a message.
2. User deleted you
If a user deletes you as a friend on Snapchat, the status below their username will be “Pending”.
Here’s what happens if someone removes you as a friend on Snapchat:
- You added someone on Snapchat and they added you back.
- You sent them a snap and they opened it.
- The status of the snap will change to “Opened”.
- They dismiss you as a friend.
- The status of the snap will change from “Opened” to “Pending”.
Based on the above test, the snapshot status will change to “Pending” if the user removes you from the friends list.
Before that, you will be able to view different snapshot states.
If you’ve chatted with someone on Snapchat in the past and their status recently changed to “Pending,” chances are they removed you from their friends list.
Let’s say you’ve chatted with someone on Snapchat in the past.
If you happen to see Pending status afterwards, chances are high that they removed you from the friends list.
To get out of Pending, the person needs to add you back on Snapchat.
3. You are blocked
The third reason for the “Pending” status is because a user has blocked you on Snapchat.
When someone blocks you on Snapchat, they won’t be able to receive your photos or messages.
Also, they won’t be able to see your party’s story or charms.
Blocking is different from removing someone from your friends list.
When someone removes you as a friend, they can still send you snapshots, chat, and view your public stories.
However, if they block you, they won’t be able to do that.
Blocking and deleting are similar as both will change the status of the person (which you are capturing) to “Pending”.
Therefore, if someone blocks/deletes you on Snapchat, their status will change to “Pending”.
4. No internet connection
If the user’s status is Pending, it may be because they don’t have an internet connection.
If you send a snap to someone who doesn’t have an internet connection, they won’t be able to receive it.
Basically, the difference between a received snap and an unsent snap is its status.
When a snapshot or a message is sent to someone without an internet connection, its status will be “Pending”.
However, if a message is sent to a mutual friend, its status will be displayed as “Received”.
Another reason is that your friend may have turned off their phone.
If so, the status will only change from “Pending” to “Received” if the person turns their phone back on.
If not, the connection problem may be yours.
Make sure to test your internet speed with an online tool.
Sometimes your snapshots or messages are pending because your internet speed is too slow.
To fix this, you can use your mobile data instead of Wi-Fi (and vice versa).
5. User deleted their account
In the end, the user may have deleted their Snapchat account.
When a user deletes their Snapchat account, it will be deactivated for the first time in 30 days.
During that 30-day period, they won’t be able to receive your snapshots or messages.
Therefore, if you send them a snap or a message, the status will be displayed as “Pending”.
If a user has deleted their account, sending them a snapshot or a message will not be shown as received or read.
Instead, the status of the snap or message you sent will be Pending.
Pending on Snapchat means they blocked you?
Pending on Snapchat doesn’t always mean the user has blocked you.
The most common reason for the status to show as pending is because the user didn’t add you back on Snapchat.
If the snap or message you sent is pending, there could be other reasons.
It could be because they removed you as a friend or they didn’t add you back in the first place.
Another reason for pending status is that the user has blocked you or deleted their Snapchat account.
How long will Snapchat be pending?
Snapchat will say Pending forever unless the user re-adds you as a friend.
If the user has blocked you, they need to unblock you to change the Pending status.
If you send a snapshot or message to someone who doesn’t add you on Snapchat, it will be Pending.
Once you are blocked, the user needs to unblock you for the Pending status to go away.
Conclusion
Statuses on Snapchat can be quite confusing.
In a nutshell, there are three statuses on Snapchat—Pending, Received, and Opened.
Pending usually means the person hasn’t added you back on Snapchat.
Received means the person viewed your message, while opened means they opened your snapshot.
Keep these in mind whenever you have a quick chat with someone in the future.
