Can I re add someone on Snapchat without them knowing?

Never forget that you can't add someone to your friends' list without them knowing about it. After weeks or months of silence, your willingness to reconcile might not be appreciated. It's also important to remember that blocking someone will definitely delete previous snaps and conversations between the two of you.

How do you add someone back after you unfriend them on Snapchat?

Even if you deleted several friends, they may remain on this list with a little plus sign on the right side of their name. That means they're still following you and blissfully unaware of the huge mistake you just made. To re-add them, just tap on the plus sign. Your deleted friend will be your friend again.
