What is snapchat message delivered but not opened?

Okay, here's some information about a Snapchat message being delivered but not opened, formatted in Markdown with the requested linked terms:


A Snapchat message showing as "Delivered" means the message has successfully reached Snapchat's servers and been sent to the recipient's device. However, it doesn't guarantee the recipient has actually seen the Snap. Several factors could explain why a Snap remains in the "Delivered" state without being opened:

  • User is Offline: The recipient's device might be turned off, or they might have no internet connection. While the Snap is delivered to the server, it can't be fully received and opened on their device until they are back online.

  • Notifications Disabled: The user may have disabled notifications for Snapchat. This means they won't receive alerts prompting them to open the app and view the Snap, even if it's been delivered.

  • Recipient is Busy or Ignoring: The most straightforward explanation is that the recipient is simply busy, or choosing not to open the Snap at that moment. They might open it later, or they might intentionally ignore it.

  • Account Issues: In rare cases, there might be an issue with the recipient's Snapchat account, such as a temporary glitch or problem with the app itself. This could prevent them from receiving or viewing Snaps properly. Consider if there is a technical%20issue.

  • They Blocked You: If you have been blocked by the person the message was sent to, the message will show as delivered, but it will never be opened. There is no notification for this case, and it may be hard to tell, but a sudden failure to deliver snaps may indicate that you have been blocked.

  • They unadded you: If the recipient unadded%20you, your snap may still show as delivered, but they will never see your snaps or messages.
