“Delivered” on Snapchat means your Snap or chat message has reached the other person’s device. It does not mean they have opened it yet — only that Snapchat has successfully sent it to them.
People usually see “Delivered” when they send a Snap and want to know it got through. If the message is still waiting, it may show as “Pending” or just not update yet. Once it says “Delivered,” the other person has received it and can open it whenever they want.
Meaning & Usage
On Snapchat, “Delivered” is a status update for your message. It tells you the message arrived, but it has not been viewed. This is different from “Opened,” which means the person has actually seen it.
Examples
If you send a photo Snap to a friend and it says “Delivered,” that means it reached their account. If they open it later, the status will change to “Opened.”
Does “Delivered” mean they saw it?
No. “Delivered” only means the Snap was sent successfully. It does not mean the person has looked at it.
Why does Snapchat say “Delivered” but not “Opened”?
This usually means the person has not opened the Snap yet, or they have seen the notification but not tapped into the message.
Can a Snap be delivered if someone blocks you?
No. If someone blocks you, your messages usually will not be delivered to them.
