What does "pending" mean in Snapchat?

A Snapchat "pending" label usually appears under a friend's name in the chat tab, under a friend's name on their profile, and in a DM or conversation.


The iPhone Snapchat app highlights Snapchat pending message notifications.


So, why is it called "pending" on Snapchat? The "pending" label means Snapchat was unable to send it.


Unlike a generic error message, however, a Snapchat pending warning means that the app will continue to attempt to send until it is received or you want to cancel the entire process manually.


This error is almost always caused by one of the following:


The person did not approve your friendship request. Snapchat users need to confirm a friend's request before Snapchat can send them a message.


The person has unfriended you. Even though you've been a Snapchat friend in the past, users may have decided to trim their friend list.


Your friend has blocked you. Snapchat won't tell you if someone has blocked you, so it could be the cause of a pending message. Usually, anyone who blocks you on Snapchat will be completely hidden from you.


Your smartphone or tablet is not online. Snapchat will not work while offline, and will display a pending message "waiting to be sent" until your smart device reconnects to a cellular or Wi-Fi network.

Restrict your Snapchat account. If you harass other users or violate the Snapchat policy, your app may be limited.


Problems with a random Snapchat app. The app may have a bug or technical issues.


Snapchat may be down. The entire Snapchat service may be temporarily shut down.


What to do with a Snapchat pending message

If you see a Snapchat pending message error, there are a few things you might want to try.


Check your cellular and internet connection. Make sure your iPhone or Android smartphone has a strong mobile signal and connected Wi-Fi is working when using a tablet. If you suspect that Wi-Fi has stopped working properly, turn off Wi-Fi and use your cellular network if available.


Try sending a Snapchat message to another friend. The easiest way to check if the problem is technology-related or with a particular Snapchat friend who has unfriended or blocked you.


Communicate with your friends through other messaging apps. If you're tired of waiting for contacts to approve your Snapchat friend request, you can send them a DM on Twitter, WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram, Vero, or any other messaging app and give them a nod. Although it is best to wait at least 24 hours before doing so.


Go ahead with compassion. If someone unfriends or blocks you, the best thing to do is move on, as Snapchat may interpret further communication efforts as harassment or intimidation.


Restart your device. If all your messages show a pending error, the Snapchat app may be incorrect. An initial restart of your iPhone or Android smart device can often solve such problems.
