Snapchat has a series of arrow indicators that convey different meanings. The most common Snapchat indicator arrow colors are red, blue, and purple. Grey arrow indicators are very common on platforms. Ever wonder what this means? Let’s find out from this article.
Snapchat has several metrics, the grey arrow is one of them. Snapchat metrics take the form of colored arrows. Each media content in text, image or video is represented by a unique color. These indicators appear directly below the user’s username and change based on the current state of the snapshot. Now that we understand these indicators and their uses, let’s focus on the less common “grey arrow indicator”.
What does the grey arrow on Snapchat mean?
To understand what the grey arrow icon means on Snapchat, we first need to understand when and why it appeared. Whenever you send someone a Snap and a gray arrow appears next to their name, it means you recently sent that person a friend request and they haven’t accepted it yet. You will see the message alert”to do” and a solid gray arrow below their name. In short, a gray arrow means your message won’t be delivered until the person adds you to their friends list.
Expert Tips! Colored arrows usually change to a different color whenever received and opened or left intact.
Why do grey arrows appear on Snapchat?
A gray arrow on Snapchat indicates that your message has not been sent to the intended recipient. Grey arrows below a person’s name are usually pending indicators. Now let’s focus on the reasons why the snapshot failed to reach the intended recipient. There are three reasons why a gray arrow indication may appear after sending a snapshot. They include:
- The recipient may have “unfriended” you or removed you from their friend list.
- A user may have blocked you.
- The user may not have accepted your friend request.
These are the options that can lead to a grey arrow indicator. If you’ve just recently sent a friend request to a user, leave it there and wait for them to accept it. However, if you are friends with that user, and you may exchange Snaps from time to time, and now you find that your Snaps can no longer be sent, they may have blocked you or removed you from their friends list.
Benefits or Snapchat metrics?
The Snapchat arrow indicator is good for both Snap senders and receivers. As a Snap sender, you can know the status of the Snap. By status, I mean you can see if your snap has been received, opened, viewed, read or untouched. On the other hand, the recipient can use the color of the arrow to judge the nature of the snapshot sent. They can tell if a Snap contains images, video clips, or even text messages without having to open it.
What is a grey arrow check?
Snapchat won’t communicate or notify you after someone unfriends or even blocks you. So the grey arrow check technique is a smart way to tell if someone is blocking you. Using this feature, you can verify that one or more of your friends blocked you, removed you from their friends list (unfriended you), or never accepted your friend request. This technique is effective and easy to use. Next time you see the grey arrow, know that someone may not have accepted your friend request, they may have blocked you, or worse, they may have cancelled your friend request.

From what we understand, a grey arrow will show that your Snap has not been delivered. If the user tries to re-friend you, a friend request will be sent to you. Once approved, your communication will go back to normal and the grey arrow will change to another colored arrow indicator based on the Snap status. If the user unblocks you, you will not receive any requests or notifications, but you will notice that the color of the arrow indicator changes from grey.
in conclusion
Snapchat has a series of arrow indicators. The next time you send a snap to a friend and notice a gray arrow under their name, it means your message hasn’t reached the target. This could be due to a pending friend request, a user blocking you, or removing you from their friend list. Having said that, we have come to the end of this article. I hope you find it very useful.
