Very few know features like a list of indicators, Grey Arrow Check, etc.

What Are Snapchat Message Indicators?

If we talk about message indicators then we all know about red, blue, and purple message indicators on Snapchat and that commonly used in other apps as well. But in this post, I’ll let you know about only grey arrows on Snapchat like what the grey arrow check is, and what you can do about it. It will clear your basic doubt about this grey tick like what is this and what it's meaning in messages.

Before jumping directly to the grey tick on Snapchat, let me tell you what indicators in Snapchat is what it’s meant to be.

Snapchat indicators are meant to show the actual status of the sent messages and media, doesn’t matter what kind of media is this, it’s related to photo, video, or any test messages. Each of these media formats has its own separate indicator. These indicators are very useful for media sender and receiver.

Like if someone sent a message or media then the sender can figure out the message or media sent or not, delivered or not as well as the receiver opened it or not. These indicators also help the receiver to identified received messages, and help to figure out its media type, like image, video without even opening it. You can find these indicators just below the user's name and it will change on the state of the sent content.

What Does Grey Arrow Check Mean On Snapchat?

Grey arrow is part of Snapchat indicators. But why it’s less known or noticeable compared with other colored indicators because these grey color indicators only visible when content is not delivered.

Unlike the “Sending” notification meaning is to indicate to you that your snap unable to send due to network.  The grey arrow check indicates that the receiver cannot accept a message from you.

Other than network many more options may cause this grey arrow to appear like someone yet to accept your friend request or someone unfriend you on Snapchat. There is no way to figure out what is the exact reason for the grey arrow due to some privacy concerns.

But if someone unfriends you on the app then this grey arrow will appear continuously whether you send a snap, any media, or text messages.

Similar to the grey arrow, a grey check is to understand the action of checking if someone in your friend list unfriended you. Due to security concerns, Snapchat does not notify you if someone unfriends you or blocked you on the app.

The grey arrow check is basically sending a snap to some people to see whose name will have the grey arrow after it. As you know grey arrow lets you know that you cannot be sent or communicate with the person on your list. It helps you to understand the persons in your list have already unfriended you, blocked you, and yet to accept your friend request.

What Can You Do About The Grey Arrow?

Unfortunately, there is no way to deliver you snap or media to the person who unfriended you, blocked you, or yet to accept your request. But yes you can contact them personally through call, or with the help of other apps and let them know about the error or issue in sending a snap, It will help you to re-friend if someone by mistake unfriended you from the list or if someone not accepted your request then after personally approach your chances to increase to acceptance of your request or re-friended you.

So when you get a grey arrow check you can respond to them using another app that you have unfriended them due to some error and want to add back. Or you can simply respond to them by re-adding them as friends on Snapchat.
