Snapchat is a kind of social networking tool that lets you chat, send and receive images, videos, and real-time location. Like other social networking apps, it allows you to maintain a friend list to follow and view their stories. It is built-in with free cloud storage to save your snaps and see them later. However, if you want to block or remove someone from your snapchat friends list, it is simple and doable within the app. The block feature is available only on the Snapchat mobile app, and the web page does not possess this feature. Snapchat is supported on both Android and iOS smartphones.
