When you remove a friend on Snapchat do they know?

Snapchat doesn’t sell you out to the person you unfriended. They are not notified, and they won’t know for sure what has happened to them until they start digging around or try to send you a Snap.

What is the difference between blocking and removing on Snapchat

Blocking makes it so that people can’t even see your publicly shared content, while removing friends would not.

Final words

It should be noted that if you also want to  block someone, you can do so by following steps one through four above. Then, instead of tapping Remove Friend, tap the red Block option, which should be the second option down from the top.
